Note from asker:
Floor load capacity is the total maximum weight a floor is engineered to support over a given area. In the U.S. it is expressed as pounds per square foot. Floors are engineered to carry a maximum static load and a maximum dynamic load that can't be exceeded without the risk of compromise to the structure.
https://companies.offshore-energy.biz/faq/what-is-the-maximum-floor-load-capacity-in-the-exhibition-halls/
As Sandra has already suggested, the maximum accepted weight for the exhibition floor is 500 kg per square metre of floor space.
Here is a useful link with both EN and FR eurocodes https://www.phd.eng.br/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/en.1991.1.1.2002.pdf https://www.isba.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-NF-EN-1991-1-1.pdf Table 6.2 shows the 500kg/m2 of your source text (ie imposed loads on floors in EN, charges exploitables sur les planchers in FR)
Thanks to Cyril we have another confirmation from Eurocode EN 1991 Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Part 1-1: General actions - Densities, self-weight, imposed loads for buildings 1 General Section 3 Design situations (l)P The relevant permanent and imposed loads shall be determined for each design situation identified in accordance with EN 1990, 3.2. : 3 Imposed loads 3.3.1 General (l)P For areas which are intended to be subjected to different categories of loadings the design shall consider the most critical load case. (2)P In design situations when imposed loads act simultaneously with other variable actions (e.g actions induced by wind, snow, cranes or machinery), the total imposed loads considered in the load case shall be considered as a single action. : Table 6.2 - Imposed loads on floors, balconies and stairs in buildings https://www.phd.eng.br/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/en.1991.1.1.2002.pdf
French Version Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Part 1-1: General actions - Densities, self-weight, imposed loads for buildings : 3.3 Charges d'exploitation 3.3.1 Généralités (1) P Pour les surfaces devant supporter différentes catégories de charges, le dimensionnement doit considérer le cas de charge le plus critique. (2) P Dans les situations de projet dans lesquelles les charges d'exploitation agissent en même temps que d'autres actions variables (actions dues au vent, à la neige, aux grues ou aux machines, par exemple), les charges d'exploitation totales incluses dans le cas de charge doivent être considérées comme une action unique. (3) Lorsque le nombre de variations de charge ou les effets des vibrations peuvent provoquer des phénomènes de fatigue, il convient d'établir un modèle de charge de fatigue. : Tableau 6.2 — Charges d'exploitation sur les planchers, balcons et escaliers dans les bâtiments https://www.isba.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1-NF-EN-1991-1-1.pdf Note: Categorie C3 shows <b>3,0 à 5,0 kN/m²</b>, i.e. <b>5,000 N/m²</b> Is this a decimal error?

Ekoturism

Definition from Naturens Bästa:
Ekoturism är ansvarsfullt resande som bidrar till skyddet av naturmiljöer och till lokalbefolkningens välbefinnande.<br />The International Ecotourism Society, 1992
Example sentences:
Nu kallas snart halvdags jeeputfärder bland soptippar och byggtomter på Gran Canaria för "ekoturism". Alltfler vill sola sig i guldglansen från ordet. Men det är dags att återerövra begreppet. Resor som har just ekoturismens speciella mix av hög kvalitet på upplevelsen, lägsta möjliga miljöstörningar och mesta möjliga utväxling för naturskydd och lokal ekonomi är egentligen vad ekoturism skall vara.
