Astana, Kazakhstan, April 27
By Daniyar Mukhtarov - Trend:

Some $ 300 million will be spent for using EXPO 2017 facilities in Kazakhstan after the exhibition.

"Some $ 300 million are envisaged for changing the facilities for further use after the exhibition)," "Astana EXPO-2017" national company head Talgat Ermegiyaev said at the meeting on the further development of the capital.

"These issues are taken into account at the design stage," he said. "Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev set a task for Ermegiyaev to ensure using the facilities after the exhibition."

The least profitable exhibition is an exhibition in Hanover held in 2000. Only 18 million instead of 40 million visitors attended it. The loss hit 1.5 billion euros. Few pavilions were used after the exhibition.

Some facilities remained after the Olympic Games in London are not used.
