Expo accessible for the disabled

All Expo venues, including 51 Chinese pavilions, will have access for the disabled, officials said at a city's meeting on the construction of disabled access facilities on Monday.

Construction on disable access facilities at the Expo site has started, said Zhu Wei, deputy director of Site Planning Department of the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination.

Expo 2010 should be more accessible than previous ones.

The Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination has been compiling routes guides for disabled visitors and setting service standards.

Volunteers to assist disabled visitors will be called for from September.
