Novelli commented: “Covering all elements of the hotel supply chain including interiors, operating equipment and technology, the pavilion will highlight the diversity available from UK companies currently operating in the UAE.

“The event is an ideal opportunity to discover new, innovative and cost-saving technologies from our participating UK partners. Recognising the potential within the UAE, we have identified this as a priority market for UK exports.”
