Exhibitors to explore ME growth potential
DUBAI — The tenth edition of the Airport Show is set to open its doors today with 17 per cent growth in number of participating countries and 10 per cent increase in number of international exhibitors.
The show, the only event in the region dedicated exclusively to airport construction, operations, technology and services, running from April 25 to 27 at the Dubai Airport Expo, will host international exhibitors and suppliers exploring the growth potential offered by the growing airport industry in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia region.
With 39 airports currently under construction or renovation in the region, the tenth show will put the spotlight on the extensive opportunities for potential collaborations in specialised areas of airport development.
This year, more than 223 specialised providers and industry suppliers from 34 countries will attend the show. China, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, and Switzerland will host national pavilions that occupy a gross exhibition space of 10,508 square metres covering the West and Central Halls of the Expo.
“It’s very difficult to say about the total business deals signed during the last year’s show, “ Ara Fernezian, Group Exhibition Director, Reed Exhibitions Middle East, told Khaleej Times. However, Fernezian said, this year’s show would record a six per cent growth in terms of total exhibitors. Both the number of participants and number of participating countries has increased this year.
Over 223 exhibitors will participate from 34 countries — several of them as part of dedicated country pavilions- compared to 210 exhibitors from 29 countries which means a six per cent increase over last year for exhibitors and 17 per cent growth in the number of participating countries.
The international exhibitor presence has grown to 166 compared to 150 in 2009, an increase of 10 per cent.
The net exhibitor space this year has also increased to 4,750 sq metres from 4,438 square meters last year, registering a growth rate of 7 per cent. Another introduction to the show this year are the project seminars, where project owners, managers and suppliers come together to discuss plans and close deals. — abdulbasit@khaleejtimes.com
