This year it has seen a 27% increase in turnover compared with the second quarter of 2009.

These additions will enable Eurexpo to achieve their ambition of entering the top 15 European parks. The new reception area will open in September 2010. The façade is decidedly modern and will be the emblem of the “New Eurexpo”. The space will be extended and it will be a welcoming, convivial and modern space, buzzing with life. It will accommodate all of the necessary services required to welcome visitors: an information point, a business center, restaurants, cloakrooms and boutiques. Covering an area of 10,000 sq. m, the multifunctional Paul Bocuse venue will meet the market criteria making Eurexpo Lyon the ultimate events venue by integrating a retractable auditorium with up to 6000 seats. The multifunctional configurations will include: exhibitions, conventions and shows. After a successful year in 2009, despite the crisis, and thanks to the support policy implemented in 2007 as part of the ‘Lyon Welcome Attitude’ and the “working together” ethic, promoted by the ONLYLYON brand, the 2010-2011 perspectives look very good and confirm that Euroexpo is well on its way to reaching its goal. http://www.aderly.com/lyon/contents/lyon-economic-news/index.jsp?lang=2&id=6000 The international news channel based in Lyon gained almost a million viewers per day between the last quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, according to the latest viewer ratings by the major European audience monitoring institutions. It now has some 7 million viewers every day. These results are even more remarkable given that while euronews’ audience increased significantly, its competitors’ ratings increased only modestly. Indeed, 1.4 million viewers watch CNN International every day and 752, 000 watch BBC World News. This significant growth is explained by the new strategy implemented across the channel by the new editorial team in late 2009.
