Over 700,000 ticketed visits have been recorded at EXPO 2020 Dubai since October 1.

Almost half of all visitors hold a Season Pass, with more than 100,000 people visiting the site twice and more than 35,000 coming three times during the first 15 days.

The figures include all ticket holders, but exclude representatives, delegations and guests of international participants, partners and other stakeholders, as well as Expo staff.

To date, visitors to the World Expo came from 181 nationalities, only 11 fewer countries than the 192 participating in the event, each with its own pavilion.

Expo 2020 Dubai runs until March 31, 2022, with more than 200 pavilions and countless other attractions for visitors to explore, plus up to 60 events daily, as well as panel discussions, cultural performances and much more.

Bringing Expo 2020 Dubai to a global digital audience, the number of virtual visitors has risen to 9.3 million since October 1, up from 7.8 million last week.
