Dubai has actually reopened its borders to international tourists as early as July 7, 2020.
Dubai has hosted the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) in December last year and the Middle East (Gulf) Food Exhibition (Gulfood) in February this year.
In June, we have participated in the Arab International Medical Equipment Exhibition, the largest medical equipment exhibition in the Middle East, through our local partners. A total of 36 Chinese companies came to the exhibition through all difficulties.
Although the scale of the exhibition has shrunk, the Chinese companies participating in the exhibition basically stated that the professionalism of the audience has been greatly improved. After all, all those who came to the exhibition in this situation really wanted to do business.
