Expo 2020 Dubai is ready to welcome the world in October 2021 after hosting more than 100,000 visitors at Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion.

Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion has now closed following its premiere, which enjoyed more than 100,000 visitors between January and April 2021.

Expo 2020 Dubai’s Pavilions Premiere ended on April 10. Visitors were impressed with health and safety at the site, according to the Pavilions Premiere Satisfaction Survey.

Terra guests also enjoyed the Expo Rider service, which is a free bus service that transports visitors between the Dubai Mall and Expo 2020.

“As we continue to navigate this period of unprecedented change, we are delighted to have offered the UAE community the chance to preview the Sustainability Pavilion, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to bringing the world together and finding answers to our most pressing challenges,” said Marjan Faraidooni, CEO of Expo 2020 Dubai.

Terra urges visitors to consider the impact of their actions on the environment, also offering a look at the effect of consumerism on the planet.

Expo 2020 Dubai recently revealed that Terra is already inspiring visitors to make changes, with 96 percent of guests motivated to save water or use less plastic.
