Admin’s Note

The shift in impressions about the Osaka-Kansai Expo on social media is quite interesting. Particularly, the influx of positive feedback from visitors during the extended holiday period has heightened expectations for the expo, which could significantly impact future attendance. The initial negative opinions may have stemmed from anxieties before the opening, but the fact that experiences have improved those impressions serves as a great example of how events can reaffirm their appeal.
