Lucy Taylor, March 18th, 2010

The first trade exhibition in the Middle East dedicated to providing the most exclusive, high-end food products sourced from all over the world will launch in Dubai in October this year.

Gourmet: Speciality and Fine Food will bring together gourmet food producers to showcase the most unique, high-end, luxury food and drink products on the market.

Catering to the exclusive food and hospitality sector as well as specialist buyers of premium produce across the Middle East, the event will take place from October 31 to November 2, 2010, at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC).

Show organiser Dubai World Trade Centre’s senior vice president, Trixee Loh, commented: “The Middle East has a very refined culture and visitors from all over the world come to Dubai in particular for the best culinary delights.

“We recognise the market demand from our many connections in the food industry and this speciality food show will provide an ideal platform to source the best products and services for the very top clients.”

Italian Trade Commissioner Francesco Alfonsi promised hat “Italian companies will play an integral part of the show’s future success”.

“Dubai is in desperate need of a Gourmet show to provide a one-stop-shop for the exclusive hotels, cafés and boutiques,” Alfonsi continued.

“Gulfood is the most comprehensive food and drink show in the Middle East, but Gourmet: Speciality and Fine Food will cater for a bespoke market.”
