Hundreds of never-seen-before brands were present at the trade event showcasing products to attendees looking to source new innovations from suppliers for leading entertainment and leisure projects around the world.
Some of the top exhibiting brands at Saudi Entertainment and Amusement 2019 included Simtec, Embed, Intercard, Unlimited Leisure, Zamperla, ASI, Mamma Mia, Falgas, Visa Group, amongst others.
Mazin Alostaz, senior project manager at SEDCO Development, who visited Saudi Entertainment and Amusement, shared his praise of the event.
“I am very happy to be at this show – a new show in Jeddah aligned with the Kingdom’s vision. There are great entertainment products here, not usually known in the local market.
“I am very happy with the wide variety of suppliers, which will help anyone who would like to venture into the entertainment and leisure industry. It’s a great place for architects, developers and even investors to find new products and inspiration for new projects,” Alostaz commented.
Alex Lokhurst, managing partner at Unlimited Leisure, said he was happy the company participated at the show.
“The world of snow and ice amusement is very popular in the Middle East. We are very happy to have met visitors who are interested in working with us. We hope to join the show next year as well,” said Lokhurst.
50% of exhibitors have already booked for Saudi Entertainment and Amusement 2020, which will take place on 3 – 5 February at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center.
