Today sees the start of the Middle East’s principal assembling of the region’s amusement and attractions industry.

Professionals from all over the MENA and beyond are gathering in Dubai, UAE, for the DEAL trade show opening tomorrow at the city’s World Trade Centre and an accompanying round of associated meetings and events.
Premier among those events will be the annual Awards Gala dinner and presentation night being held by the trade association, MENALAC, on Wednesday night at the Skyview Hotel in downtown Dubai.
That occasion will see the presentation of over 40 trophies won by operators and suppliers to the industry in categories covering every sector within the business, the winners having been chosen by a select and independent panel.
The DEAL exhibition will be the first Dubai show reflecting an industry back at full strength after the pandemic, running from Tuesday to Thursday this week with over 300 exhibitors in Halls 1, 2 and 3 at the WTC.
