Leisure and entertainment giants meet in Dubai to forge partnerships and discuss the billion-dollar opportunity

4th Annual Theme Parks & Entertainment Development Forum

4th Annual Theme Parks & Entertainment Development Forum

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, March 15, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With the need to diversify the economic base and to develop a sector that contributes to the quality of life for citizens and residents across the Middle East, entertainment is the revived and promising sector to achieve this. The entertainment sector is hugely driven by several factors - top among them are Saudi’s Vision 2030, Expo 2020 in Dubai, and Oman’s National Tourism Strategy (NTS).

The entertainment sector in the Middle East is poised to generate US$837 million dollars over the coming decade with significant investment opportunities for local and global investors in both entertainment and related ancillary services.

From 7-9 May, IQPC will be organising the 4th Annual Theme Parks and Entertainment Development Forum at the Meydan Hotel in Dubai.

Now in its 4th year, the forum will provide insight and opportunities on the growing cluster of leisure attractions in the Middle East, including cinemas, museums, water parks, zoos, FECs, stand-alone attractions, aquariums, and more.
