- Thomas Coryat was the original backpacker, a globetrotter when there was still some doubt that the world was round, the fledgling tourist. In the early years of the 17th century – a time when people were reluctant to venture beyond their front doors if they could help it – he walked from Europe to India. What’s more, Coryat did it for fun. And he wrote about it, so he might even be called the first blogger. Way in advance of tour operators’ copywriters and unwittingly laying the path for generations of holiday­makers to come, he declared: “Of all the pleasures in the world travell is the sweetest and most delightfull.”The son of an English country parson, Coryat – whose name is sometimes spelled “Coryate” – had two great gifts: he was a talented linguist and he was fired by an insatiable curiosity about everyone and everything around him. https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/3094091/thomas-coryat-worlds-first-backpacker-travelled-britain

international/world exhibition
- The Centennial International Exhibition of 1876, the first official World's Fair in the United States, was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from May 10 to November 10, 1876, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. Officially named the International Exhibition of Arts, Manufactures and Products of the Soil and Mine, it was held in Fairmount Park along the Schuylkill River on fairgrounds designed by Herman J. Schwarzmann. Nearly 10 million visitors attended the exhibition and thirty-seven countries participated in it.

  • The Great Central Fair, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania held in 1864 (also known as The Great Sanitary Fair), one of the many sanitary fairs held during the Civil War, anticipated the combination of public, private, and commercial efforts that were necessary for the Centennial.
  • Some of the most well-known present day features on display at the Centennial Exposition, was a section of the Statue of Liberty (her arm and torch) and the debut of the world's first monorail system[contradictory]which featured a steam locomotive and passenger car which straddled a single elevated iron rail that rested several feet off the ground. Consumer products first displayed to the public include:

- The South American Continental Exhibition (Exposición Continental Sud-Americana) was held in Buenos Aires from 14 March[2] to 31 July 1882.The fair was organised by the Industrial Club of Buenos Aires who had organised an industrial exhibition in Buenos Aires in 1877.[1] Julio A Roca (president) inaugurated the exhibition with the honorary chair of the committee Nicolás Avellaneda[2] stating that the exhibition represented industrial progress.Congress gave funds for the exhibition[1] which were used for premises in Plaza Once.A historical show was announced on the 15 March 1882. This was to cover the history of the River Plate with sections including "Argentinian prehistorical", "Columbian era", numismatics, paintings, prints, manuscripts, maps (including nautical maps) and furniture.The tone of the exhibition was debated with Estanislao Zeballos of the exhibition organising committee arguing that war trophies that could embarrass potentially participating nations (Brazil and Paraguay) be excluded.Fue la segunda realizada en suelo argentino tras la de Córdoba de 1871, y la cuarta en América del Sur tras la ya mencionada de Córdoba, la Exposición Internacional de Lima de 1872 (Perú) y la de Santiago de Chile en 1875."El León a los pies de la Nación" representaba al "Ibérico altivo León"... frases que figuraban en la antigua versión del Himno Nacional Argentino, escrito por Vicente López y aprobado el 6 de noviembre de 1812 por la Asamblea del Cabildo de Buenos Aires.


- The International Colonial and Export Exhibition (Dutch: Internationale Koloniale en Uitvoerhandel Tentoonstelling; French: Exposition Universelle Coloniale et d'Exportation Générale) was a colonial exhibition (a type of World's Fair) that was held in Amsterdam from May 1 to October 1, 1883. The event drew at least a million visitors and was the first international colonial exhibition, with 28 different nations presenting their colonial trade and wealth. The event was the brainchild of Edouard Agostini, a French entrepreneur. Agostini, who had previously been involved in organizing the 1878 Exposition Universelle in Paris, presented his plans to the city of Amsterdam and King William III of the Netherlands in 1880. The Dutch government was initially hesitant, but Agostini managed to secure funding from Belgian and French investors. The location chosen for the exhibition was an unused area of land behind the Rijksmuseum, which at that time was still under construction. This area is now Museumplein square. The main building was designed by the French architect Paul Fouquiau in "Moorish" style. It was constructed of wood covered with plaster and painted cloth, in order to give the impression of marble. Between the building's two large towers, a large cloth in "Indian" style was hung, with plaster heads of elephants and other animals. The building contained pavilions representing 28 different nations, including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Japan, the United States, China, Canada, the Ottoman Empire, Siam (Thailand), Transvaal, and the host country, the Netherlands. Items on show in the main building included a telephone, wood- and metalworking machines, and a safe large enough to fit eight people. The building's colonial section presented products such as tobacco and rubber, as well as a reconstructed Javanese-style settlement (kampung) with "natives". At that time, it was not considered degrading or racist to put humans on display; in fact, it became a regularly featured spectacle at such exhibitions (see further: Human zoo). Other structures included a music pavilion; the pavilion of the city of Amsterdam; the Dutch colonial pavilion; a Japanese bazar; various shops; and Dutch, English and German restaurants. In front of the Dutch colonial pavilion was a statue of Jan Pieterszoon Coen who, as governor-general of the Dutch East Indies, played a large part in the Dutch conquest of the Indonesian archipelago. A canal with a bamboo bridge and a Chinese junk intersected the exhibition grounds.
  • In Amsterdam, modern-day remains of the exhibition are the front gate of the Vondelpark and a collection of items in the Tropenmuseum which were on show in the Dutch colonial pavilion. Some items from the Dutch colonial pavilion were also donated to the ethnological museum of Artis zoo and, after this museum was closed, ended up in the Tropenmuseum as well. However, the lion's share of the thousands of items from this pavilion was donated to the National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden. Some parts of the German restaurant are now in the Veenkoloniaal Museum in Veendam. Heineken still uses the label Diplôme d'Honneur on its beer bottles, an honour that was bestowed on the brewer at the 1883 colonial exhibition.

- The Exposition Universelle of 1889 (French: [ɛkspozisjɔ̃ ynivɛʁsɛl]) was a world's fair held in Paris, France, from 6 May to 31 October 1889. It was held during the year of the 100th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, an event considered symbolic of the beginning of the French Revolution. The fair included a reconstruction of the Bastille and its surrounding neighborhood, but with the interior courtyard covered with a blue ceiling decorated with fleur-de-lys and used as a ball room and gathering place.The main symbol of the Fair was the Eiffel Tower, which served as the entrance arch to the Fair. The 1889 fair was held on the Champ de Mars in Paris, which had been the site of the earlier Paris Universal Exhibition of 1867, and would also be the site of the 1900 exposition. Since the lifts had not been completed when the Exposition opened, the first visitors had to walk up to the second floor platform.
- The World's Columbian Exposition (the official shortened name for the World's Fair: Columbian Exposition,[1] also known as the Chicago World's Fair and Chicago Columbian Exposition) was a world's fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492.[2] The centerpiece of the Fair, the large water pool, represented the long voyage Columbus took to the New World. Chicago bested New York City, Washington, D.C., and St. Louis for the honor of hosting the fair. The Exposition was an influential social and cultural event and had a profound effect on architecture, sanitation, the arts, Chicago's self-image, and American industrial optimism. The layout of the Chicago Columbian Exposition was, in large part, designed by John Wellborn Root, Daniel Burnham, Frederick Law Olmsted and Charles B. Atwood.[3][4] It was the prototype of what Burnham and his colleagues thought a city should be. It was designed to follow Beaux Arts principles of design, namely French neoclassical architecture principles based on symmetry, balance, and splendor. The color of the material generally used to cover the buildings façades gave the fairgrounds its nickname, the White City. Many prominent architects designed its 14 "great buildings". Artists and musicians were featured in exhibits and many also made depictions and works of art inspired by the exposition. The exposition covered 690 acres (2.8 km2), featuring nearly 200 new (but deliberately temporary) buildings of predominantly neoclassical architecture, canals and lagoons, and people and cultures from 46 countries. More than 27 million people attended the exposition during its six-month run. Its scale and grandeur far exceeded the other world's fairs, and it became a symbol of the emerging American Exceptionalism, much in the same way that the Great Exhibition became a symbol of the Victorian era United Kingdom. Dedication ceremonies for the fair were held on October 21, 1892, but the fairgrounds were not actually opened to the public until May 1, 1893. The fair continued until October 30, 1893. In addition to recognizing the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the New World by Europeans, the fair also served to show the world that Chicago had risen from the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire, which had destroyed much of the city in 1871. On October 9, 1893, the day designated as Chicago Day, the fair set a world record for outdoor event attendance, drawing 751,026 people. The debt for the fair was soon paid off with a check for $1.5 million (equivalent to $41.8 million in 2018).[5] Chicago has commemorated the fair with one of the stars on its municipal flag.

- The Exposition Universelle of 1900 was a world's fair held in Paris, France, from 14 April to 12 November 1900, to celebrate the achievements of the past century and to accelerate development into the next. The style that was universally present in the Exposition was Art Nouveau. The fair, visited by nearly 50 million, displayed many machines, inventions, and architecture that are now nearly universally known, including the Grande Roue de Paris Ferris wheel, Russian nesting dolls, diesel engines, talking films, escalators, and the telegraphone (the first magnetic audio recorder).

- 巴拿馬太平洋萬國博覽會 (PPIE)The Panama–Pacific International Exposition (PPIE) was a world's fair held in San Francisco, California, U.S., from February 20 to December 4, 1915. Its stated purpose was to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal, but it was widely seen in the city as an opportunity to showcase its recovery from the 1906 earthquake. The fair was constructed on a 635 acre site along the northern shore, between the Presidio and Fort Mason, now known as the Marina District.


- La Exposición Panamá-California fue una exposición celebrada en San Diego, Californiaentre el 9 de marzo 1915 y 1 de enero de 1917. La exposición celebraba la apertura del Canal de Panamá, y fue pensada para promocionar la ciudad de San Diego como el primer puerto de escala de los EE.UU. para los barcos que viajasen al norte después de pasar en dirección oesteel canal. La feria se llevó a cabo en lo que ahora es el gran Parque Urbano de Balboa.The Panama–California Exposition was an exposition held in San Diego, California, between January 1, 1915, and January 1, 1917. The exposition celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal, and was meant to tout San Diego as the first U.S. port of call for ships traveling north after passing westward through the canal. The fair was held in San Diego's large urban Balboa Park.

  • BIENNIAL FOUNDATION was established in 2009 as a first of its kind initiative aiming to create a platform for dialogue, networking, and knowledge sharing among contemporary art biennials around the world. In its first five years, BIENNIAL FOUNDATION developed new connections and exchanges amongst biennials and biennial practitioners worldwide. One of the Foundation’s main endeavours during that period was to act as catalyst and facilitator in the process of forming a new professional member association for biennial organizers: the International Biennial Association (IBA) founded in 2014. Having consigned the professional networking to IBA, the BIENNIAL FOUNDATION became an independent think-tank directing its efforts towards research, discourse, advocacy and diversity without being tied to interest of any particular biennial. With the success of the two editions of the World Biennial Forum conference organized in Gwangju (2012) and São Paulo (2014), a series of publications and research initiatives, BIENNIAL FOUNDATION has established itself as thought leader in the field, while its website became the single most important resource on biennials on the web. BIENNIAL FOUNDATION was initially registered in 2009 with the Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands. In 2016, a new legal entity, Biennial Foundation Inc., has been formed in the United States, under the New York State Not-For-Profit Corporation Law. It is organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
- documenta is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time,[1] and was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism.[2] This first documenta featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picassoand Kandinsky). The more recent documentas feature art from all continents; nonetheless most of it is site-specific. Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days".[3] Documenta is not a selling exhibition. It rarely coincides with the three other major art world events: the Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Skulptur Projekte Münster, but in 2017, all four were open simultaneously.
- Expo '70 (日本万国博覧会, Nihon Bankoku Hakuran-kai) was a world's fair held in Suita, Osaka Prefecture, Japan, between March 15 and September 13, 1970. The theme of the Expo was "Progress and Harmony for Mankind." In Japanese, Expo '70 is often referred to as Osaka Banpaku (大阪万博, Ōsaka Banpaku). This was the first world's fair held in Japan.

A state fair is an annual competitive and recreational gathering of a U.S. state's population, usually held in late summer or early fall. It is a larger version of a county fair, often including only exhibits or competitors that have won in their categories at the more-local county fairs. State fairs began in the nineteenth century for the purpose of promoting state agriculture, through competitive exhibitions of livestock and display of farm products. As the U.S. evolved from a predominantly agrarian to an industrial society in the twentieth century, and the more service economy of the 21st century, modern state fairs have expanded to include carnivalamusement rides and games, display of industrial products, automobile racing, and entertainment such as musical concerts. Large fairs can admit more than a million visitors over the course of a week or two. The first U.S. state fair was that of New York, held in 1841 in Syracuse, and has been held annually to the present year.[1] The second state fair was in Detroit, Michigan, which ran from 1849 to 2009. Events similar to state fairs are also held annually in each state capital in Australia, known as royal shows. Australian royal shows are organized by state agricultural and horticultural societies.

  •  The Yoyogi National Gymnasium was built as an arena for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. This historical building has been standing for over 50 years. Its unique appearance makes it look like a spacecraft, and it features a suspended roof using the technology that cannot be found in many other places around the world. A suspended roof is made through a construction technique where cables are arranged at the left and right of the roof like a suspension bridge, and the strength of these cables supports the weight of the roof on the building. Serving as the location for judo and karate events, Nippon Budokan was originally built for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The building features an octagonal perimeter based on the Yumedono (the living quarters for believers of Buddhism) in Horyuji, a temple registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site as the world’s oldest building made from wood. Nippon Budokan also has an iconic roof shaped so as to resemble Mount Fuji. These features give the arena a majestic and truly Japanese aura. The shining golden Giboshi decorating the center of the roof is a traditional architectural ornament, and is lovingly known as “the onion” because of its appearance.After a concert was held there by the British rock band The Beatles in 1966 when they came to Japan, Nippon Budokan is now famous as a highly important place in the world of music. Many musicians working in Japan have a goal of holding a concert in Nippon Budokan, and they strive day and night to achieve this dream.https://web-japan.org/trends/11_tech-life/tec201910_2020_olympic.html

  • The name “Nurimaru APEC House” is the combination of the Korean words, “Nuri,” meaning ‘world’ and “maru,” meaning ‘summit’, while APEC stands for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. All together this name represents ‘the house where world leaders gathered and held the APEC meeting.” The leaders of 21 APEC member nations came together for an APEC leaders’ meeting and luncheon at the Nurimaru APEC House on November 19, 2005. The leaders had high praise for the Nurimaru APEC House, which features a high-tech conference system, comprehensive services and the unique beauty of Korean traditional architecture blended with modern designs.Nurimaru has become one of Busan’s representative attractions and is very popular among domestic and international tourists.http://english.busan.go.kr/nurimaru/english/Design/sub0101.jsp

  • Balloonfest '86 was a 1986 event in which the United Way of Cleveland in Ohio set a world record by releasing almost one-and-a-half million balloons.[2] The event was intended to be a harmless fundraising publicity stunt, but the balloons drifted back over the city, Lake Erie, and landed in the surrounding area, and caused problems for traffic and a nearby airport. The event also interfered with a United States Coast Guard search for two boaters who were later found drowned.[1] In consequence, the organizers and the city faced lawsuits seeking millions of dollars in damages,[1] and cost overruns put the event at a net loss.The stunt was coordinated by Balloonart by Treb, a Los Angeles-based company headed by Treb Heining, which spent six months preparing for it. A rectangular structure the size of a city block, measuring 250 feet (76 m) by 150 feet (46 m) and rising three stories high,[3] covered with a one-piece net of woven mesh material, was set up to hold the balloons, on the southwest quadrant of Public Square in Cleveland.[2][4] Inside the structure, 2,500 students and other volunteers spent many hours filling the balloons with helium.[1][3][5] United Way originally planned to release two million balloons, but eventually stopped at over 1.4 million.[4] Children sold sponsorships to benefit United Way at the price of $1 for every two balloons.
  • Fyre Festival was a fraudulent luxury music festival founded by Billy McFarland, CEO of Fyre Media Inc, and rapper Ja Rule. It was created with the intent of promoting the company's Fyre app for booking music talent. The festival was scheduled to take place on April 28–30 and May 5–7, 2017, on the Bahamian island of Great Exuma.The event was promoted on Instagram by "social media influencers" including Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin and Emily Ratajkowski, many of whom did not initially disclose they had been paid to do so.[1] During the Fyre Festival's inaugural weekend, the event experienced problems related to security, food, accommodation, medical services and artist relations, resulting in the festival being postponed indefinitely. Instead of the luxury villas and gourmet meals for which festival attendees paid thousands of dollars, they received prepackaged sandwiches and FEMA tents as their accommodation.In March 2018, McFarland pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud to defraud investors and ticket holders, and a second count to defraud a ticket vendor that occurred while out on bail.[3] In October 2018, McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to forfeit US $26 million.[3] The organizers became the subject of at least eight lawsuits, several seeking class action status, and one seeking more than $100 million in damages. The cases accuse the organizers of defrauding ticket buyers.
