In response to the coronavirus epidemic, the DEAL trade show in Dubai has been postponed until new dates in June.
Organiser International Expo Consults announced that the show will now be held from June 16-18 at the same venue, the World Trade Centre in Dubai. The original dates were March 23-25.
According to an announcement from organisers, they have “taken this decision in the wake of the current global COVID-19 situation where people from many countries are unable to travel abroad.
“The move is in the best interests and safety of the entire FEC and theme park industry as we would want to host a highly productive deal 2020 show for everyone.”
Deal is a highly anticipated event for the entertainment, amusement and leisure industry. It is the largest show of it’s kind in the region and has historically attracted visitors from all corners of the world. While the majority of visitors come from the Gulf Nations, the event has witnessed multiple serious buyers from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and CIS countries and even as far as the USA and UK.
