Abu Dhabi: Visiting the Swiss pavilion at Expo 2020 is set to be an ‘emotional experience’. Visitors will walk through a mist, emerging onto a vibrant, green landscape, Massimo Baggi, the Ambassador of Switzerland to the UAE, told Gulf News. “As the first country to confirm our participation in Expo 2020, we are enthusiastically looking forward to the [international fair]. Our pavilion will be devoted to innovation, including solutions for water and the need for conserving nature and the environment,” he said. Welcoming back tourists The mission is gearing up for Expo 2020, even as it expects to greet tourists from the UAE following the opening of its own borders last month. “About 10 per cent of all tourists who arrive in Switzerland seek medical treatment, including 140,000 arrivals every year from the UAE. These UAE tourists generate 350,000 overnight stays in our picturesque, family-friendly destinations. Medical tourists in particular come down for orthopaedic, neurological, rehabilitative, oncological and psychiatric care,” Baggi said.
