Where is the 2024 world fair?
 Show Paris has always been capable of exciting attention by its constant presence at the hub of what’s happening now. The reflected glory of its major exhibitions and its talent as a host are sufficient to draw crowds from all over the world. Natural successors to the World Fairs that placed Paris at the top of the tree, its modern-day exhibitions, on a great variety of subjects, are just as likely to be major popular successes. These days, all eyes are on Paris just at the mention of a painter’s name, the theme of a show, its originality, its setting. Every day, Paris offers a huge choice of some 100 exhibitions, where it goes without saying that quality and quantity go hand in hand. Seven World Fairs in ParisIf the concept of the World Fair first saw the light of day in London in 1851, Paris wasted no time in reaching the forefront in the organization of this type of event. From 1855 to 1937, the French capital hosted no less than 7 World Fairs, if we count the International Colonial Exhibition of 1931. 1855, 1867, 1878, 1889, 1900, 1931 and 1937: these far-reaching events formed a major showcase for all things French - technical and scientific developments, industry, economy and culture - regularly assigning Paris the role of world leader in all these spheres. Each country represented made every effort to show itself in its smartest, cleverest colours. Visitors and exhibitors flocked from all corners of the globe and in the process, discovered the charms of Paris. The 1900 World Fair beat all records with over 50 million visitors and 83,000 exhibitors. Without a doubt, the huge success of these events contributed to the capital’s growing prestige. Prestigious monumentsA multitude of imposing but ephemeral constructions appeared within the framework of these World Fairs. For the most part they were later dismantled, but the Parisian landscape inherited nonetheless a handful of distinctive monuments: the Eiffel Tower (1889), the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais and the Alexandre III Bridge (1900), the Palais de la Porte Dorée (1931) and the Palais de Chaillot and Palais de Tokyo (1937).
World Updated on: November 15, 2017 / 2:53 PM / CBS/AP PARIS -- The state of Minnesota lost its bid to host what would have been the first world's fair on U.S. soil in almost 40 years when the organization that oversees the events voted to make Argentina's capital the site of one planned for 2022-2023. The Bureau of International Expositions, based in Paris, picked Buenos Aires over rivals Bloomington, Minnesota and Poland's third-largest city, Lodz, to host a specialized World Expo. It will be the first expo in Latin America under the auspices of the BIE, which began operations in 1931. The Trump administration has sought to boost American interest in world's fairs, events that introduced the world to the Eiffel Tower, the Ferris Wheel and Seattle's Space Needle. Full-scale World Expos that last six months are now held every five years, while three-month expos devoted to specific themes take place in intervening years. Buenos Aires' made showcasing artistic and technological innovations its theme. Minnesota proposed a specialized expo on the theme "Healthy People, Healthy Planet." The bid theme from Lodz focused on the revitalization of post-industrial cities. CBS Minnesota reports that the expo would have been hosted at a site that's adjacent to the Mall of America and would have drawn in about 12 million visitors. The station adds that Minnesota is home to Mayo Clinic, arguably the world's best hospital, and nearly 20 Fortune 500 countries. A tweet sent out by BIE touts Minnesota as a viable option to host the expo:
Argentina's organizers hope the event will attract at least 6 million visitors. Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, is set to host the next full World Expo in 2020. Belgian waffle was hit of New York World's Fair 00:30
