Clear positioning Cebit
With closer tie-ins between the Cebit exhibition and conference programmes， Deutsche Messe in Hanover is aiming to boost the show’s growth – as a strictly B2B trade fair. The recruitment and career starters segment is in line for significant expansion， while the extensive range of Cebit Global Conferences featuring well over 1，000 seminars， lectures and in-hall forums will be more clearly structured and easier to navigate. In the future the fair will be held from Monday to Friday， switching from the traditional Tuesday to Saturday run. This means that in 2014 Cebit will open on March 10 and welcome visitors through March 14. Some new services have also been introduced. For example visitors are able to use the WLAN network free of charge on the fairground and in the halls. All this comes at a price： the Cebit single-day admission ticket costs € 60. （Celion Su） 励展华群与上海世贸商城联手办展

泰国竞标举办2020年世界博览会遭拒
日前，由于缺少政府支持，目前泰国竞标举办2020年世界博览会的努力以失败告终。2010年，泰国民主党的竞标努力未得到首相的支持。首相称，由于举办世博会的成本巨大（约为十三亿至十六亿美元），因此需要慎重考虑回报率的问题，而这还不包括拟用来举办世博会的会展中心以及交通设施的预算。研究表明，如果泰国的三千七百万人口都来参观世博会，每人缴纳32美元的管理费，那么该展会可以收支平衡。泰国总人口为六千九百万，人均月收入为四百美元。（苏希玲）

Thai bid for World Expo 2020 rejected
Bangkok’s bid to host the 2020 World Expo has been rejected by the organisers for failing to secure government support. The bid presented in 2010 by the Democratic Party government has reportedly received lukewarm interest from Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s Pheu Thai party. While denying that her administration had shelved the bid， the PM said in February that more time was needed to analyse the likely return on investment. The costs of organising the event are huge， estimated by the PM’s office at between Bt 40 billion （about USD 1.29 billion） and Bt 50 billion （around USD 1.6 billion）. This does not even include the construction of infrastructure in Ayutthaya， the venue scheduled to host the Expo， and transport links to the World Heritage city. According to a study， the country would break even if 37 million people nationwide visited the international fair and each paid a Bt 1，000 admission fee（about USD 32）. Thailand has a population of around 69.5 million people. The average monthly income is estimated at approximately Bt 14，000. （Celion Su）
