Dubai Beats Out Ekaterinburg, Izmir and Sao Paulo to Win 2020 World Expo | Business | The Moscow Times:
"The United Arab Emirates city of Dubai has been selected over Brazil, Russia and Turkey to host the 2020 World Expo, in a victory for investment, tourism and national pride.
The Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, Ekaterinburg in Russia, Izmir in Turkey and Dubai were in the running to host the next world's fair, which was decided in a vote by the 168 members of the Paris-based Bureau International des Expositions.
In Dubai, crowds of hundreds of people were waiting for the result in front of big screens outside the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building.
World Expos, which participating countries use to showcase technological prowess, culture and architecture, are held every five years for six months. Milan will host the next one in 2015."
