The Dubai Entertainment Amusement & Leisure (DEAL) exhibition is positioning its 2026 edition as a platform for the next phase of theme‑park and FEC development across Africa. Organiser International Expo‑Consults is encouraging investors, developers and operators from the continent to attend the show at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 10–12 February.
The event will assemble suppliers of rides, waterpark equipment, VR and AR attractions, esports arenas and family entertainment concepts under one roof, with an emphasis on turnkey models suited to emerging markets. Conference content will address financing structures, safety standards and localisation of IP‑neutral themes for audiences dominated by young families and Gen Z consumers. For manufacturers and consultants, DEAL 2026 offers a direct route into African projects backed by tourism‑driven economic strategies.
