The most popular consumer products fair in Bahrain will run from 25 January to 2 February 2012 with participation of over 700 exhibitors from 17 countries including 86 Bahraini companies. The event which will spread over 15,000 square metres will showcase seven country pavilions.
The Minister stressed the importance of trade fairs in the business sector particularly in the area of retail business and its contribution to the national economy as a whole as well as the benefits it provides the business tourism sector in the promotion of the Kingdom of Bahrain as a destination of choice. The exhibition will be a potential venue for business-to-business relations and cooperation between local and international companies.
