DEAL was this year 35 per cent larger than in 2014, bringing together representatives from over 300 exhibiting companies and 7,189 visitors.

“We are extremely delighted that the majority of our exhibitors have signed significant contracts during the show,” said Abdul Rahman Falaknaz, chairman of organiser International Expo Consults. “Many meetings and business contacts have been created and developed as exhibitors reached out to visitors and trade partners at the show.

“There has been a renewed zest in the industry and we are sure that the region will be witnessing state-of-the-art family entertainment centres due to the products that were showcased at DEAL.”

Next year’s DEAL is set to take place on April 11-13 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
