Food and Hotel Oman exhibition to be held in Muscat in October

Organised by Omanexpo LLC, Food & Hotel Oman 2009 will showcase a wide range of food and beverage, hotel equipment and supplies, kitchen and catering equipment as well as food processing technologies and packaging products.

In addition, the three-day international exhibition will also feature all products and equipment related to agriculture and fisheries, hotel décor and style, and hospitality technologies.

C.J. Paul, General Manager of Omanexpo LLC, the leading exhibition management company in the sultanate, said:

"This show was previously known simply as Food Expo, and we have rebranded it this year in light of the exciting developments in Oman's hotel industry and consistent with our continued efforts to make our events truly relevant to the needs of our clients."

Paul pointed out that Food & Hotel Oman 2009 comes at a time when the sultanate's food and hospitality industries are experiencing rapid growth as more prestigious properties and new hotels are built for the rising number of tourists who are visiting Oman every year.

The various development projects now ongoing in many parts of the country are paving the way for the establishment in Oman of globally-known hotel brands, including Kempinski, Fairmont, Four Seasons, Anantara, Banyan Tree, Movenpick, Rotana, and many others.

Food & Hotel Oman 2009 will prominently display all requirements in the day-to-day operations of hotels, restaurants, hypermarkets, groceries and food manufacturing firms.

The international exhibition is expected to bring together the largest gathering in Oman of hotel operators, chefs, hypermarket executives, restaurant managers, caterers, housekeeping managers, and other industry professionals.

"The exhibition will be an excellent opportunity for food manufacturers, equipment distributors and hotel suppliers to meet and closely interact with their potential clients in Oman's vibrant food and hospitality industry," Paul stressed.

"With our strong experience in organising major trade exhibitions, we will ensure that Food & Hotel Oman 2009 will truly be a productive event for all visitors and exhibitors," he stated.

Food & Hotel Oman 2009 is supported by Salman Hotel and Restaurant Equipment as the platinum sponsor, ELCO National Trading Co. LLC as the silver sponsor, the OER Dossier as the official publication, and Food & Beverage News as the media partner.
