Local travel agencies report that organized tours to the Expo Park are fully booked for next week, when the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai enters its final stretch.
With crowd volumes at more than 600,000 daily visitors this week, organizers said they hope more people would find time to tour the park at night, when standard day tickets are still permitted.
Designated Expo travel agencies said they will be bringing bus loads of people to the park next week, as people believe the park will be less crowded given that only the higher-priced designated day tickets can be used to enter starting Monday.
China.org.cn reports a manager of Shanghai China Travel International as saying, "We’ve run out of tour guides and long distance buses to bring people to the park. The high demand for tours has even allowed us to increase our prices some 20% to sell our daily Expo packages for as much as RMB 600(US$90)."
