Expo 98

Article Abstract:

Electrosonic Leisure Division Manager Alan Wilkinson pointed out the queuing system to some of the attractions at Expo '98, Lisbon, Portugal, were poorly managed and visitors would not have been able to see all the main papillions. Jack Rouse Associates Vice President Dan Schultz felt the catering kiosks spoilt the general look of the exhibition site but overall he enjoyed Expo'98. The New Millennium Experience Company Operations Director Ken Robinson suggested the aim of Expos made them difficult to design to suit all purposes. He felt Expo '98 was disorganised.

Hands across the sea

Article Abstract:

World Exposition Expo '98 is taking place in Lisbon, Portugal. The development of the exhibition has involved the reclaiming of derelict land and encouraged infrastructure construction, including a 12 km bridge spanning the River Tagus. Plans for the site after the exhibition closes in Sep 1998 include the development of a mini-city for 25,000 people. The exhibition focuses on the oceans. Five main pavilions explore themes related to this topic including ecology, leisure, navigational developments, myths and Portugal's history of ocean exploration.
