Peru Pavilion wins the Gold award at Expo 2020 Dubai
The 2,500 meters of built area were visited by influencers, Emirati television channels and international reporters, who were pleasantly surprised by the compendium of Peruvian culture and biodiversity
Peru's participation in Expo 2020 Dubai culminated in a great achievement: Peru's pavilion won the Gold Award for Self-Constructed Pavilion in Category B (between 1,750 and 2,500 square meters). This highest award rewarded the concept "Peru Timeless", an exciting synthesis of the historical, multicultural and mega-diverse wealth of the Andean country, reported the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Exports and Tourism, PROMPERÚ.
The awards ceremony was held within the framework of BIE Day in the Jubilee Park of Expo Dubai and was organized by the International Exhibitions Bureau (BIE for its acronym in French). A total of 51 gold, silver and bronze awards were handed out, with Peru being the only South American country in the event awarded gold.
“The selection of the winners of the Official Participants Awards fell to an international jury of nine international and Emirati experts, who made two visits to each of the national pavilions, in January and March 2022. These awards celebrate those who have made significant contributions to the success of the Universal Exposition”, said Antoine Bourdeix, Director of Communication at the BIE.
The 2,500 meters of built area of the Peruvian pavilion were visited by influencers, Emirati television channels and international reporters, who were pleasantly surprised by the compendium of Peruvian culture and biodiversity. CNN, Khaleej Times and Gulf News reports highlighted the valuable concept of the Peru pavilion and the cultural and musical expressions of the country embodied by the Ayacucho guitar and scissors dance.
The Abu Dhabi newspaper The National included Peru in its article “Expo Dubai: five fantastic pavilions you should not miss” and the Emirates Woman magazine mentioned Peru in the list of the most beautiful pavilions of the exhibition. These recognitions were recently endorsed by winning the World Expo Awards from EXHIBITOR magazine in the popular vote category, where the Peru Pavilion was chosen by more than 550,000 visits from readers and fans of the Expo who cast their votes. Likewise, Peru led the positive comments among Latin American countries in the official Dubai Expo mobile application used by visitors to rate their experiences in the national pavilions.
Peru's participation was organized by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) through PROMPERÚ, and had the commitment of talented Peruvians, as well as the support of DP World, Pisco 1615, Flo Trading, Modenart Perú, Terracota Lab and Adolf Finseth.
