WORLD 2003 – Important Issues
Access to the Halls

Road Traffic / Congestion
WORLD 2003 – Access to the Exhibition Halls
Access to all of the Exhibition Halls should be greatly improved for WORLD 2003
The new Hall 6, linking Halls 4/5 to Hall 7, will provide new entrance and registration areas
It will also increase synergy throughout the whole PALEXPO venue
WORLD 2003 – Public Corridors in the Exhibition
As a new initiative, ITU TELECOM
has decided that the rental fee shallnot be charged at WORLD 2003for areas inside stands or pavilions which the venue management keeps open as public corridors for safety reasons
WORLD 2003 – Public Corridors in the Exhibition
A rebate of up to 10% will be given to National Pavilions for internal corridors between stands
There will be no one-metre set-back for constructions over 2.5m high

WORLD 2003 – Accommodation
The ITU and the Governing body of the Republic and Canton of Geneva have entrusted Geneva Tourism with the responsibility for accommodation for WORLD 2003
Improvements can therefore be expected in the management of accommodation for the WORLD 2003 event
WORLD 2003 – Work Permits
It has been agreed that no minimum wage restrictions will be imposed upon exhibitors by the Swiss authorities
Exhibitors must nonetheless follow the ILO’s conditions of employment
WORLD 2003 – VAT
We are also glad to announce that Bern has agreed that VAT can be refunded to all non-Swiss companies participating in the WORLD 2003 event
WORLD 2003 – Parking
We are still optimistic that we will find a solution for VIP Parking – hopefully in the PALEXPO Gardens
We are also hoping to arrange parking inP49 for buses, to avoid congestion
WORLD 2003 – Public Transport
We are delighted to be able to confirm that there will be free public transportfor event participants at WORLD 2003
Throughout local Switzerland and across the border in France – or at least within the Canton of Geneva
WORLD 2003 – Road Traffic / Congestion
New bus routes and traffic management were successfully implemented for the 2001/2002 Motor Shows – with new bus stops under Hall 6
Further new bus routes and traffic management will be implemented onceHall 6 is complete (early 2003)
Traffic congestion is therefore forecast to be reduced for WORLD 2003 in comparison withTELECOM 99 + INTERACTIVE 99
Special bus and taxi lanes and increased frequency of public transport should ensure easy access to the event
WORLD 2003 – Road Traffic / Congestion
