Visitor Numbers Soar

Visitor Numbers Soar

Write: Siena [2011-05-20]
Yesterday`s visitor numbers to the Expo almost broke the record, hitting 325,800 by 9:30pm as enthusiasm soars to see pavilions and experience the site`s attractions.
The highest attendance so far was last Saturday when the number of visitors hit 335,000.
Huge crowds queued outside popular pavilions, dedicated fans having to wait more than two hours to enter the France or German pavilions.
In efforts to ease crowding, staff at the neighboring France and Germany pavilions were amusingly seen trying to persuade their own waiting crowds to give up and visit other pavilions first.
Visitor numbers soared at around 11am when the sun scattered the clouds and brought fine weather conditions to the site.
More people were sitting outside enjoying the mild sun and gentle breeze instead of sheltering under the elevated walkways from the scorching sunshine of several days ago.
