Nakheel is set to reveal its plans for new era of waterfront development at a key exhibition.

Nakheel will play a key role in the first-ever Tourism Development project & Investment Market (TDIM) exhibition, to be held at Dubai World Trade Centre from January 20-22, with the largest stand in the company’s history, which is approximately the same size as three Olympic swimming pools, the company said in a statement.

A number of new developments will be revealed in exciting shows talking place in two large domes situated within the stand. Nakheel will also unveil a 13 metre-long scale model of Dubai with an updated show, detailing the role the waterfront has played in the growth of Dubai and the major role Nakheel has played in this, it added.

Each of Nakheel’s waterfront projects will be displayed at the exhibition, including the latest addition to Nakheel’s diverse portfolio of projects, Dubai Promenade.

A model of the recently-launched waterfront community is set to be revealed, which will allow visitors to see how Dubai Promenade will create a virtual peninsula along the emirate’s shoreline anchored by a spectacular five-star wheel-shaped hotel, the company said.

“Nakheel is thrilled to play such a major role in the first ever TDIM exhibition. As the creator of some of the world’s most iconic developments, TDIM provides a perfect opportunity to showcase our most visionary projects, such as The Palm Jumeirah and The World, but also the exciting new waterfront projects that we are launching this month. The Nakheel stand is the largest that we have ever created in our history and will feature some truly spectacular attractions,” said Manal Shaheen, director for sales, marketing and customer services.

Fast Future / Global Futures and Foresight (GFF), a strategic futures think tank, which draws on a global network of business, academics, and future thinkers from across the world, will also feature at Nakheel’s stand. 

Nakheel is currently sponsoring a study conducted by GFF, titled ‘The Future of Travel and Tourism in the Middle East – A Vision to 2020’; seminars discussing this study will also be conducted at the exhibition. – TradeArabia News Service
