Over the past 25 years there has been one constant factor that has been promoting the entertainment, amusement and leisure industry in the MENA region – the ‘DEAL Middle East show’.  MENA is one of the last remaining bastions of high growth potential in the world.  Most of its countries have marked the tourism industry as an essential contributor towards their economies and are investing heavily to meet their targets.  The development and growth of theme parks and other entertainment avenues have been on the rise in the past few years.  Dubai itself is famous for its record-breaking attractions, has a vast array of entertainment avenues.  Construction and development of new malls, hotels and other venues for entertainment and leisure purposes don’t show any signs for slowing down, much due to the high expectations from the upcoming Expo 2020 mega-event.  The UAE themeparks themselves are showing healthy signs of growth with a report stating that the MENA region represented the fastest growing market in 2017 with an 80.2% increase. Spending at the parks is forecasted to grow 3X from $182 million in 2017 to $541 million in 2022.
