Stephen Brown has "always been fascinated with the idea of a world’s fair."Mary Schnack is a businesswoman hoping to make connections in Shanghai. Brian Greenberg has long dreamed of visiting China.
They’re among thousands of Americans heading to the Shanghai Expo, which opened last weekend for a six-month run. Nearly 200 countries and dozens of corpo-rations are participating, with pavilions and exhibits showcasing culture, tourism, technology and a theme of environmentally sustainable cities.
The Expo has not received a lot of publicity in the U.S. Seventy million visitors are expected to attend in all, but only 3 million to 5 million will be foreigners. Still, Americans who do plan to attend have great expectations and often very personal reasons for going.
Wan Wu, 63, was born in Shanghai and owns a Chinese grocery store in Quincy, Mass. He plans to attend the Expo later this month. "I am always proud to be a Chinese-American who was born and who grew up in Shanghai," he said. "This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience I do not want to miss."
Sam Roth, 17, a high school student from Oakland, Calif., will be attending the Expo in July with a summer camp to "learn about business in China." She said she expects the most impressive aspect to be "the scale on which the Chinese do anything... That is the wow factor."
Greenberg, 53, a CPA from Cherry Hill, N.J., said he’s long wanted to go to China, and "what adds to the trip is that the Expo will be there." He added that "traditionally a world’s fair is where new technology has been introduced, and that’s my expectation, to see something I’ve never seen before."
Jim Little, 66, a professor of economics at the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis, is one of several faculty members planning to attend the Expo. The school has a joint MBA program with a university in Shanghai. He said that while this Expo would have fewer "technological marvels" than past world’s fairs, "it will be the biggest and best Expo in history,"with countries participating not just to sell products, but to sell themselves as destinations. "Chinese tourism already has become an important aspect of tourism for many countries," he said.
Brown, 36, works in marketing in Atlanta for MS&L, a New York-based firm. He said his condo is "laced with old world’s fairs posters and memorabilia." Although his trip to Shanghai is "completely recreational," he’s also got a professional interest. "I do consumer marketing and it will be fascinating to see what these different companies and countries put into these installations," he said.
Schnack, 53, has her own public relations firm in Sedona, Ariz. She wants "to see who’s there at the Expo, who’s exhibiting, what me possibilities are of making connections." She’d like to represent Chinese products abroad, and would also like to help market tourist destinations to Chinese travelers. And she’s curious about the fair’s theme of "Better City, Better Life." "How seriously is this being taken by countries around the world? How are they going to present that?" she said.
Irene Natividad, 61, president of a Washington, D.C. — based organization called the Global Summit of Women, is taking an international delegation of 120 women to the Expo in late May, following a meeting in Beijing. "China is the 21st-century global leader in the world’s economy. I know they will put on a show that will exceed that of others in the same way that they did in the Olympics," she said. Natividad added that while "it’s important to see what products are being produced and touted," the business aspect "doesn’t take away the dream of a world’s fair."
The above are some stories from people who are going to visit the Shanghai Expo soon. [br] ______is going to take a group of women to the Expo before a conference in Beijing.
