The MBC Show expects to attract visitors the whole of the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The most significant participants are from Turkey with 15 companies offering quality products from Diapers to Fashion. Turkish manufactures see the UAE as the gateway to the Middle East thanks to its growing market and its central geographical location. With good cause says Shannon Norris Events Director for TME the organisers of the event. "The recent announcement that Dubai had been awarded the hosting rights for Expo 2020 brought even more optimism the United Arab Emirates economy, creating jobs as well as driving the expansion of shopping centers. GDP increased by 4% in 2015, up from 2% in 2010 as the country's solid infrastructure and favorable government policy continued to drive inbound tourism."

She went on to add."Apparel and footwear in the UAE increased its growth rates over the previous year, reflecting the strength of the country's economic stability, and the strong recovery in consumer confidence for fashion retail in the country. Steady growth is driven by increasing numbers of tourists visiting the country and a growing expatriate population with high discretionary incomes who are keen to spend on staying up-to-date with the latest global fashion trends."

The Mother, Baby and Child Show is the UAE most important business and networking platform of the year for the nursery or juvenile sector. The MBC team understands the importance of looking after the buyers who attend the show by providing free fast track access, as well as a VIP lounge for their sole use away from the hubbub of the main fair.
