In the presence of Kuwait’s Minister of Commerce and Industry, H.E. Fahad Mutlaq Al-Shuraian, ambassadors and guests, HORECA Kuwait launched its 10th exhibition to celebrate the best in hospitality and foodservice.
The renowned event has, over the past decade, established itself as a prime meeting place for professionals to network and do business, providing a much-needed boost to Kuwait’s hospitality sector.
From 23-25 May, 2022, visitors to HORECA Kuwait, which takes place at Crowne Plaza Hotel’s Al Baraka Hall, will be able to discover the products and services of more than 60 local and international exhibitors, including tableware, kitchen equipment, food items, beverages, packaging, linen and much more.
H.E. Al-Shuraian said: “We view this exhibition with appreciation from a strategic economic and services perspective, recognizing that its interest in food industries, gives it the added value of prioritizing food security, particularly with the continuous disruption of the global production and supply chains resulting from the repercussions of world events. All this calls for tireless efforts and alertness in the production, manufacture and supply of foodstuff.”
The minister added that hospitality development is an important part of Kuwait’s Vision 2035 and that the sector is booming. “It is no secret that the State of Kuwait is among the leading states in the domain of food and one of the most competitive countries in the foodstuff market, attracting the best international trademarks.”
Apart from sourcing products and discovering innovations, visitors attending HORECA Kuwait will be able to enjoy live contests at the Hospitality Salon Culinaire and the Bed Making Competition. Indeed, more than 156 participants have signed up to showcase their culinary talents in front of jury comprising top chefs , including Maroun Chedid, Samaan Hilal, Christiane Trilck, Faisal Al Nashmi, Richard Seidel, Zyad Hilal and Mohamad Hamdan.
“True, it has not been easy for us to relaunch this event amidst all the obstacles and challenges, and after long lockdowns imposed by the corona pandemic. Yet, here we are again, inaugurating with your support the 10th edition of HORECA Kuwait, which promises three days of positive discussions, competitions and constructive interaction between companies and entities concerned with developments in hospitality,” said Nabila Al Anjari, chairwoman of the HORECA Kuwait organizing committee.
