This is how the Hungarian pavilion of the Expo 2020 Dubai will look like

The elements of the Hungarian pavilion will be transported to the United Arab Emirates with the help of the biggest cargo plane of the world. The World Expo is going to be between October 20, 2020, and April 10, 2021, and its organisers expect more than 25 million visitors. They will be able to see the 193 pavilions built by the 193 countries taking part. The expo’s theme is “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.”

The Hungarian government earmarked 75.4 million dollars for the country’s participation at the expo.

pays tribute to the country’s thermal waters.

Lőrinc Csernyus’s building will focus on water, with special regard to balneology and curative tourism. According to the official website of the Hungarian government, the pavilion’s design is in harmony with the country’s tourism slogan, “Wellspring of Wonders.”

boost its diplomatic and cultural relations with the Arab region,

but also to promote economic cooperation schemes, boost trade relations, enhance the country’s image, and introduce Hungarian tourism and gastronomy to the Arab region.
