1. Summarizing the history of the World Expo and holding a successful World Expo will not only give a strong impetus to a country's economic, social and urban development, but also have a long-term and in-depth impact on expanding the international spread of its image and enhancing its ability to participate in international political and economic activities and international affairs. In the current situation that the international financial crisis has not bottomed out, it is of great significance to run a good World Expo to boost market confidence, promote economic, technological and cultural exchanges and cooperation among countries around the world, cope with the financial crisis and promote sustainable development.
1. Political significance. For the host country, hosting the World Expo can fully display the national image, promote diplomatic and international cooperation and exchanges, and reflect the progress of China's development concept and the harmonious development of society; Internally, it can effectively unite people's hearts, improve the quality of the people and inspire the national spirit.
2. Economic significance. The World Expo has always been an important boost to the economic and social development of the host country, and can even bring a new round of regional economic take-off. This has become a common knowledge. The Osaka World Expo in 197 greatly promoted Japan's economic restructuring and national economic growth. The Seville World Expo in 1992 made the relatively backward areas in southern Spain develop rapidly. The 2 World Expo in Hanover, Germany, promoted the economic recovery of Lower Saxony. It is predicted that the Shanghai World Expo will generate $3 billion in direct investment and $15 billion to $3 billion in extended investment, which will directly boost China's economic growth. The Shanghai World Expo, with the participation of more than 2 countries and international organizations, 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and 7 million visitors, will directly promote the development of clothing, food, housing, transportation, tourism and related services. The direct sales revenue of Expo tickets, catering and tourist souvenirs will be close to 11 billion yuan; Indirect tourism income such as transportation and accommodation will reach 8 billion yuan; As a result, internal demand is generated, and the economic benefits are considerable.
hosting the Shanghai world Expo will provide a rare opportunity to help China's economy overcome difficulties and help the world get out of the financial crisis as soon as possible. Facing the challenge of the financial crisis, the world places more hopes on the Shanghai World Expo. The Secretary-General of the Bureau of International Expositions, Losetes, thinks: "All countries can take this opportunity to gather together to face the global crisis, carry out global cooperation and promote the common development of the whole world." In 1933, the theme of the Chicago World Expo was "Progress in a Century", and how to deal with the Great Depression in the 193s was discussed, so that people all over the world could see a bright future and get out of the shadow of the Great Depression. Now, the Shanghai World Expo will be a world-wide historical moment. Countries around the world can use the platform of the World Expo to explore countermeasures, form a sense of * * * and deal with the crisis.
in addition, for the host city, the Expo has improved the infrastructure, airports, roads, bridges, information networks and other facilities and improved the living environment of residents through innovation and transformation of new technologies, infrastructure construction, transportation facilities construction, urban planning and design, and urban information and rapid transportation network construction.
3. Cultural significance. Hosting the World Expo will bring about the exchange, collision and integration of cultural ideas, promote the development of China's cultural and creative industries, and promote the promotion of the country's "soft power." Looking at the history of the World Expo, it is not difficult to find that the spiritual heritage left by the World Expo is far greater than the material heritage.
(2) According to the deployment of the Organizing Committee, all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities will fully participate in the Shanghai World Expo, including exhibitions, forums and various activities held in the Expo site, and participate in communication and promotion, audience organization, ticket promotion and sales, market development and other related work. This is of great significance for all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to display local characteristics and promote the development of local economy, tourism, cultural and artistic exchanges.
1. The China Pavilion is a national business card. As an important part of the China Pavilion, the provincial and municipal pavilions will show visitors the local characteristics, more comprehensively and stereoscopically display the rich natural resources, colorful cultures and distinctive civilizations of all ethnic groups throughout the country, and show the achievements of urban construction and the development of science, technology and environmental protection; The participation of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in the World Expo, from preparation to exhibition, will attract media attention, so that people around the world can have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. With the help of the favorable publicity platform of the Shanghai World Expo, the visibility and opening-up level of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities will be further improved. In addition, the "Activity Week" of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities at the Shanghai World Expo will become the focus of many media. I hope that all localities will make full preparations and make good use of media resources to push the participation activities to a climax.
2. Although the main purpose of the World Expo is to discuss and solve the problems faced by human development, it also provides a good platform for economic and trade cooperation and scientific and technological exchanges. The Shanghai World Expo not only discusses the concept of urban development, but also pays close attention to the achievements and development prospects of the exhibitors in economy, science and technology and culture. Through the World Expo, all localities learn from successful development concepts, understand cutting-edge science and technology, explore and promote their own advantages, carry out economic and trade cooperation, and promote their own economic and social development.
In addition, the Shanghai World Expo provides great business opportunities for relevant local institutions and enterprises to participate in Expo ticket sales, commercial activities in the park, licensed product management and tourism promotion, which has effectively promoted the development of tourism, service and other industries in various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.
