Expo 2020 Dubai: New Guinness World Record Is Achieved With Participants From 193 Countries

The Dubai Police in partnership with Expo 2020 Dubai, established a new Guinness World Record for the “Largest online video chain of people passing and wearing a self-adhesive badge/sticker.” A total of 265 individuals from 193 nations and 192 Country Pavilions stated “Thank you Expo 2020″ on camera in their native languages before digitally presenting each other the Expo 2020 Dubai badge, or pin, through split screens. Guinness World Records-MENA adjudicated the three-minute video chain, which took 48 hours to film.

Speaking after the ceremony, Lieutenant Hamad Khalil Obaid Al Bishri of Dubai Police said: “Along with creating a safe and secure environment at Expo 2020 Dubai we wanted to create a unifying message of equality that Dubai thrives on. We decided to bring all the pavilions together, under one flag of connecting minds and building a healthy future. After only one week of collaborative efforts with different pavilions, we started filming, and achieved our goal of producing our message.”

Danny Hickson, Adjudicator of Guinness World Record-MENA said: “This is a brand-new Guinness World Record title, we set our benchmarks for the award, which Dubai Police surpassed. It is a brilliantly executed idea giving a message of unity.”

“There have been between 10-15 Guinness World Records set at Expo 2020 Dubai, to date, with innovative award-winning ideas; Most Awareness Ribbons made to celebrate World Cancer Day, World Cinnamon Bun Day at the Swedish Pavilion, three records at the Saudi Arabia Pavilion, and many more. The UAE holds the most Guinness World Records in the Middle East with around 480 records in total here.”
