United Arab Emirates, Local, 1/22/2002

An innovative and new exhibition, Adventure Show 2002, will be held from 9-11 October at the Airport Expo Dubai. It is the only show of its kind in the Middle East, which brings together the world of adventure travel and action sports.

The show, targeted at holidaymakers and adventure aficionados is expected to attract a wide spectrum of exhibitors from across the world.

"In addition to being one of the fastest developing commercial centers of the world, Dubai is also becoming the leisure capital of the region with its assortment of international sporting and tourist events," said David Domoney, Managing Director, International Conferences & Exhibitions. "Moreover, residents of the Arab Gulf States, expatriates as well as GCC Nationals enjoy a very active and affluent lifestyle, which enables them to participate in a variety of action sports.

The Adventure Show 2002 will provide a window to a gamut of global adventure travel destinations as well as the latest range of international equipment for action sports. The show will appeal to anyone on the lookout for something innovative and different to do in their spare time, be it holidays or general leisure," he added.

A report by the World Tourism Organization predicts phenomenal rise in long-haul tourism in the course of 2002. It is estimated that the average annual growth rate in international tourism will increase by 4.1 per cent in the next decade. In addition, the number of international tourists travel is expected to reach 1 billion by the year 2010.

The exhibition will attract some of the leading names in the sport and adventure travel industry featuring luxury lodges, adventure consultants, mountaineering, surfing, nature and outdoor discovery, farm/home stay holidays, horse safaris, aquatic adventures, skydiving and historical tours, walking tours, 4 wheel drives, paragliding, extreme sports, bungee jumping, bird colony tours and archaeology among others.
