According to the Expo 2020 Dubai official website, the event will also produce between 50,000 to 90,000 full-time jobs and positions between 2013 and 2031.”
Based on personal consideration and analysis of the blog post, it is very relevant to the study because its content aligns with the study requirement on the various impact of Dubai Expo 2020 on the country and locals.

The article documented by Gomba, Hyland, & Paris (2018) elaborates on tourists’ perceptions of Dubai and Expo 2020. With a total of 25 million tourists expected, many activities are taking place in the country with progressing towards the lofty goals of the Dubai tourism vision. The document also elaborates on how various sectors have benefited and still stand a chance to benefit from the event. For instance, the tourism sector has also played an essential role in Dubai’s marketing communications and branding. That has exposed the country to various foreign opportunities. In data collection, the researchers applied a mixed-method design in which they collected relevant data sequentially. Participants involved a purposive sample of tourists.
One of the best quotations by Gomba, Hyland, & Paris, (2018) which is worth being used in the study state that “Respondents also reported likely economic growth to Dubai and an increased number of job opportunities in the region. Indeed, this may be the case, as shown by other research articles which reported increased full-time employment and economic growth stemming from FIFA 2002 World Cup. Of interest was a perception that Expo may increase pollution.”
According to the analysis on the document, it is relevant to the study for various reasons; for instance, it is well updated since it got documented within the last three years, in 2018. The document’s content is also relevant, and it can be sued in obtaining necessary information that can assist in answering the research question.

The research journal by Vij et al. (2019) elaborates on the locals’ perception of the forthcoming event Dubai Expo 2020, mainly concerning various factors such as environmental, economic, and even socio-cultural impact. The document also researched the locals’ inclination to participate in the event and directly affect their lives. The study’s primary purpose was to determine the level of understanding of the locals on the impact of the event and their willingness to participate or get involved in the event organization process. The research study obtained its data through the primary data collection method by adopting stakeholder theory and the triple bottom line model. It interviewed more than 250 residents who were given a structured questionnaire to fill. The study applied a descriptive design in carrying out an analysis of the collected data. That was also supported by SEM and path analysis which they also considered to be relevant. According to the research findings, the residents had favorable and promising responses to the event, and they were ready to get involved to make it successful.
One of the best quotations from the journal that is worth considering for the study forms part of the introduction, and it state that “UAE has the distinction of having one of the world’s busiest international airports in Dubai. At the same time, its shipping port at Jebel Ali is consistently ranked among the best container ports in the world. Dubai’s transport sector has shown enormous growth in the last decade. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) which is responsible for ground transportation, has successfully introduced various modes of inter-city transportation, such as Dubai bus, Dubai tram, Water taxi, Dubai metro, in addition to long-existing Dubai taxi.”

The document also contains the appropriate purpose of the research. That includes the perception of the locals on the impact of the event. It also determined whether the locals were willing to participate. It is also appropriate to consider this source relevant because the analyzed data was collected directly from the residents through questionnaires and recommended model used in the analysis. The document is also up-to-date since it was documented within the last five years, in 2019. It was also documented by professionals with a good reputation and expertise to carry out such a study.
