JERÓNIMO BLASCO: "LA CANDIDATURA DE ZARAGOZA ES UN PROYECTO DE ÉXITO NO SÓLO PARA ZARAGOZA, SINO PARA TODA LA COMUNIDAD INTERNACIONAL"

El gerente del Consorcio Pro Expo Zaragoza 2008, Jerónimo Blasco, ha insistido está mañana ante los delegados de la Oficina Internacional de Exposiciones (BIE) que la candidatura de Zaragoza es "un proyecto de éxito", no sólo para la capital aragonesa, sino para toda la comunidad internacional. Como prueba de esta afirmación, Blasco ha detallado las características del proyecto, y se ha mostrado convencido de que la Expo será visitada, al menos, por siete millones de personas, cifra que podría ser rebasada gracias a que España es uno de los destinos turísticos más solicitados en el mundo.
