Gulf Property Show, the boutique showcase for real estate and property developments which opens this month in Bahrain, will see an increased presence of international real estate and property developers.

The event will be held under the patronage of HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister of Bahrain, from April 26 to 28 at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre, said the event organisers Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE).

"While demand from Bahrain’s expanding real estate and property development sector is a major focus for the Gulf Property Show, the event is becoming a major showcasing opportunity for international real estate developers,” remarked Jubran Abdulrahman, the managing director of HCE.

According to him, the success of the Gulf Property Show has been the result of an aggressive marketing approach geared to the needs of the real estate sector. The event has grown by over 300 per cent since its inception in 2013, he stated.

"This year we have an increase in the showcasing of real estate developments from outside Bahrain, with projects from Kuwait, UAE, Turkey, Qatar, United Kingdom, US, India, Thailand and Philippines besides Eastern Europe and South-East Asia,” said Ahmed Suleiman, the exhibition director.

"Whether you are looking at investment or retirement opportunities from Thailand to Turkey or from Europe to the US, the Gulf Property Show will have something for everyone," added Abdulrahman.

The Gulf Property Show is expected to attract over 7,000 visitors from Bahrain and the GCC; of which 20 per cent will be from Saudi Arabia.

Gulf Property Show 2016 carries the strategic sponsorship of Diyar Al Muharraq and Manara Developments with the support of Bahrain Property Developers Association (BaPDA).-TradeArabia News Service
