Expo 2020 Dubai chief says vaccines encouraged but not mandatory for visitors

Expo 2020 Dubai organisers said they are positive about welcoming millions this year, as vaccinations are rolled out and travel restrictions ease.

Reem Al Hashimy, director general of Expo 2020 Dubai Bureau, said she was optimistic of the situation improving in the next five months, as millions are inoculated globally.

“We are hopeful that in the next five months we are going to see a better and stronger overall picture,” she said in an interview with CNBC.
