It hosts specialists, experts and investors from around the world who meet annually to communicate and review investment opportunities in the sector. We are participating in the exhibition because it is the perfect platform for us to meet and network with companies, travel agents and authorities working in the tourism industry and to promote the many opportunities in Sharjah, whose tourism sector is growing rapidly. We will also be highlighting the unique projects that we operate and which provide strong returns on investment," said Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer, COO of Shurooq .

Projects such as Mleiha Eco-tourism and Archaeological Project, al Badayer and Kalba Eco-tourism Project are the first of a series of initiatives we operate in this niche sector that hold numerous investment opportunities and we look forward to building the foundations of strategic cooperation with partners and investors through our participation in the event.
