GCC Landscaping business set to double to Dhs60bn by 2010 - CMPi

The event is scheduled to take place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from 17th to 18th November 2008.

Landscaping in the GCC is a competitive business fraught with high competition, shrinking profits and high capital expense. "With the advent of international players, regional landscape designers and builders are realizing that there's more to growth than sunshine, soil and water," said CMPi Group Director, Chris Fountain.

Mr. Fountain noted that the GCC is beginning to value the outdoors and landscaping professionals are now in big demand. "Driven by the construction boom, many households have increasingly turned to landscaping services to design, develop and maintain their investments while landscaping contractors are learning how to grab their share of this high growth market," he said.

Gulf Landscaping is an exhibition for the booming Middle East outdoor design and landscaping architecture industries. The event is designed to generate business leads for companies in the landscaping business.

The exhibition will serve as a sourcing platform and networking event for the regions landscape architects, developers, contractors and other key buyers, to enable them to select products, services and solutions for the huge number of major developments in the commercial, retail, leisure and residential sectors, as well as city parks and highways.

The event will be co-located with Working Buildings Middle East and Fit-Out Middle East to enable those involved in the development and delivery of this major growth industry to meet their landscaping and outdoor architecture needs in one visit.
