Expo 2030 has won its stay in the Saudi capital Riyadh, as Saudi Arabia is a qualified and ready country to host the world, and it is moving steadily towards greatness and excellence in an impressive way. The capital, Riyadh, has also won by hosting this big event, as it is an opportunity for Saudi Arabia to strengthen its leadership in terms of tourism and investment and to diversify its economic options.
The choice of Saudi Arabia, and the capital Riyadh in particular, to host this international event was very expected and logical in the context of the unprecedented renaissance witnessed by the Two Holy Lands at all levels and in the context of the impressive presentation presented to the organizing committee, on the basis of which sufficient votes were garnered to win this event, which is held once every five years. The date of 2030 as the date for the establishment of this international exhibition came as the culmination of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to achieve its unique and historically defined vision in 2030 as well.
The new Saudi Arabia is on an upward trend year after year. Thanks to the efforts of its inimitable leadership, through the struggle, patience, and perseverance of its people and the perseverance of its competencies and cadres, it will make non-stop qualitative leaps and will be the leader in the entire region, reaching the occasion of Expo 2030, which will give an important economic impetus to it and will open the doors for it to benefit from technology in order to move forward with a smart, strong, and solid economy.
Why are countries racing to host the expo?
The history of the holding of this exhibition dates back to the 19th century. Thanks to him, humanity has set itself on the pace of global utilization of the products of science and technology in order to reach many inventions that have changed and will continue to change the lives of people and societies and modify their lifestyles for the better.
The expo opens its doors to receive the latest technological capabilities, possibilities, and discoveries of mankind that are capable of improving human life, developing its potential, and protecting the Earth, the environment, and the climate. The country of choice is developing its infrastructure to host this huge exhibition. Such an international celebration needs large and numerous exhibition venues, as well as hotels, to welcome visitors from all over the world. This will also entail the development of transport and communication networks and the provision of everything necessary to receive millions of visitors, including entrepreneurs and inventors. Expos attract more visitors than the World Cup or the International Olympics, which are also held periodically in different places each time.
This means that the investment in the infrastructure to host the expo will bring significant benefits that exceed the amount spent for this hosting. And after the end of the exhibition, which takes about 6 months, the erected infrastructure will be a magnet for capital and will attract the most significant investments of all. The geographical location of the exhibition will become a zone of population, economic, commercial, tourist, and cultural recovery.
What is the cultural impact of Expo on Saudis?
The important economic impact that Expo 2030 will have on Saudi Arabia and Saudi society in general is no secret. But if we want to point out the biggest impact of this exhibition, it is in its cultural dimension. Imagine with me that Saudi society will be in contact with the latest products of science, technology, art, and culture with their inspection of its territory for six months. This exhibition will reshape the consciousness of modern generations by attracting them to the fields of knowledge, science, and technology.
Young people will be more motivated to pay attention to these productive sectors, through which strong nations are leading the modern world. The vision of wise leadership in Saudi Arabia tends to consider youth as the most important and greatest wealth of the country. Through their minds, skills, and specializations, Saudi Arabia can be great, pioneering, and advanced in various fields. The Saudi youth have the potential and capabilities that make them eligible for this status and this great horizon.
