Saudi Arabia and UAE are two leading markets for hospitality projects, amounting to not just one of the largest pipelines, but also some awe-inspiring projects too. With such a pool of opportunities comes the challenge of making the right business connections and gathering the best market knowledge to efficiently navigate through the various stages of project development. GBB adeptly addresses this issue through its exclusive by-invite-only decision makers’ business summits, gathering developers, investors, architects, designers, contractors, consultants and suppliers from some of the leading brands in the industry.
One such high-profile gathering is The Hospitality Innovation Summit – Saudi Arabia & UAE | Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City, Dubai, UAE, on 15 and 16 March 2023 for the hospitality fraternity from Saudi Arabia and the UAE to meet, build and co-create new business collaborations with solution providers and industry peers.
