Detail: As the curtain came down on this years Beautyworld / Wellness & Spas Middle East exhibitions, the events vital statistics clearly endorse the regions premier beauty industry trade fair as a major success. With 40% more visitors this year, compared to last year's from all around the region meeting 750 exhibitors from over 45 countries, these numbers speak for themselves. Not least of all because many of the exhibitors have already signed up to return in 2007. According to Diana Taylor, group exhibition manager for organisers Messe Frankfurt Dubai, "I am overwhelmed with the response that we had, it was most certainly a record breaking show for us both in terms of exhibitors and visitor numbers." She went on to explain that the beauty sector's 12% annual growth within the Middle East highlights how lucrative the region is. "With Europe offering value growth of less than 2%, its not surprising that our figures in the Gulf of ten times that are so attractive to international suppliers," she said. This sentiment was borne out by one of the largest trade groups at the fair, UBI France. Commenting on behalf of UBI France, Maria David, Project Manager said "this exhibition is one of the most important in the world for us, as the region is growing by 20% annually and it gives us access to India and Iran. This year we have 38 companies participating, a 40% increase compared to last year and this will grow significantly for next year's show. French companies have also witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of products that they export to the Middle East and again this will increase year on year as the market continues to grow." http://www.gulfbeautyexpo.com/press.html
