“I am delighted to say that we are up 12 per cent week on week with our visitation numbers,” an Expo official said. “Almost half of all the visitors hold a season pass and we've had more than 100,000 actually coming to the site twice."
More than 35,000 visitors have visited the Expo three times. Furthermore, the number of virtual visitors has risen to 9.3 million since October 1, which is up 1.5 million from the previous week, said the official.
