The Hotel Show organiser DMG World Media’s exhibition director, Maggie Moore, tells HME.com why the food and beverage industry is such an integral part of this established Dubai exhibition - and reveals what F&B industry professionals can expect from next year's event.
The Hotel Show is the Silver Sponsor for the inaugural Caterer Middle East Awards; why did you feel it was important to support the region’s F&B industry in this way?
The Hotel Show is the most important event for hospitality industry suppliers in the region and a key networking opportunity for our visitors.
Therefore we should recognise our visitors’ efforts during the year, be they front-of-house or in the food and beverage department.

How have you seen the Middle East F&B industry change and progress over the past few years?
The industry has become increasingly sophisticated in recent years and has taken on board trends and developments from other more established markets.
There are now restaurants that specialise in food from all over the world. You can find restaurants specialising in cuisine from almost every country here in Dubai, and it is served in restaurants that reflect almost every style and price level.
The region and its cities can now be rated alongside virtually all other destinations in the world for choice and quality — making dining out an experience of truly international standards.
