Hartmann Tressore Middle East’s general manager Reiner Kaltenbach adds: “We participate in the fair because we meet exactly our target group there, the right decision makers in the hotels, and we’ve always been very pleased with the results of the show in the past.”

The 2013 edition will feature exhibitors across five core profiles: interiors and design; operating equipment and supplies; technology and facilities management; outdoor and resort experience; and a new segment for hotels, restaurants and cafe supplies and equipment.

This year, the Hotel Show will also launch a new event called The Leisure Show, featuring the latest pools, spas, fitness and sports equipment. Together, both events cover all requirements of a hotel or leisure facility.

“The Hotel Show is an important industry event and business and networking opportunity in the region — so attendance is a must. What is more, Schletterer has recently re-located the company’s MENA headquarters to Dubai and expanded the regional team,” explains Schletterer’s regional director MENA Mohammed Ibrahim.

Ibrahim reveals the company has signed a number of contracts to develop spa concepts at upcoming properties including the Habtoor Group’s Waldorf Astoria and Damac Properties’ Burjside Boulevard in Dubai, and the Solis Hotel in Qatar’s Education City.
