The 17th annual Dubai Entertainment, Amusement and Leisure exhibition opened its doors on April 3, providing a key platform for firms looking to expand their reach into the Middle East’s burgeoning attractions market.

The three-day event, which took place at the Dubai World Trade Centre, played host to numerous leading theme park and family entertainment centre equipment providers, including Falgas Industries, Rainbow Productions, Zamperla, the United Distributing Company and Warehouse of Games.

"DEAL offers up three days of intense business negotiations, and due to the nature of the industry it also offers three days of fun and entertainment," said Abdul Rahman Falaknaz, chairman of event organiser International Expo-Consults.

A full show report will appear in the next issue of InterPark.
