expo, page-15

With regard to Expo and your view on it being insignificant. My brother is in business in Dubai and has been for 35 years, I visit there frequently. The description you portray is far removed from reality. Expo in this day and age is much different than 20 years ago, its impact in many areas will be huge. Even if the number of visitors is 50 per cent down upon the estimated expectation that would still be 75,000 per day!! It is expensive to exhibit at Expo but would be money well spent. I asked my brother some weeks ago to enquire through his contacts to see if FBR were registered to appear, his reply was negative. It would seem an opportunity missed in my opinion. The lack of communication from FBR is concerning and frustrating and causes speculation of widely differing views. I am hopeful that they will rectify that very soon. Fingers crossed!
