DUBAI: The Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC) and Israel’s Expo Tel Aviv have signed an agreement to expand collaboration in the region’s business tourism sector, state news agency WAM reported.
The two exhibition centers signed a Memorandum of Understanding that will potentially increase opportunities for both venues.
“Our relationship with Expo Tel Aviv will enable the wider growth of the business tourism sector in the UAE and wider region, which ADNEC consistently seeks to promote,” Humaid Matar Al-Dhaheri, managing director and group CEO of ADNEC, said in a statement.
“This strategic partnership showcases ADNEC’s efforts in fostering intraregional cooperation and will offer new developments for the transfer of knowledge to local audiences,” he said.
The UAE and Israel are poised to be among the first countries to be vaccinated against COVID-19, Tel Aviv Expo CEO Tamir Dayan said. This would allow both countries to lead the revival of the exhibitions industry, he said.
