Visitors to Big 5 PMV, a major construction plant, machinery and vehicles show, can benefit from special retail offers negotiated by the organisers with select retailers, said a statement.

Organised by Streamline Marketing Group in conjunction with dmg world media, Big 5 PMV will take place from November 23 to 26 at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

“The retail and hospitality industry faced a difficult year due to the economic downturn, and the major malls and hotel groups are doing what they can to win back customers,” said Nick Webb, director of Streamline Marketing Group.

“But as event organisers bringing thousands of visitors into the country, we can also play our part,” he pointed out.

“Exhibitors and trade buyers who attend our shows are all potential customers for local retailers and we’ve looked at ways to attract them into retail outlets while they’re here, rather than seeing them head straight back to their hotel from the exhibition floor to order room service. Big 5 PMV exhibitors and visitors can benefit from fantastic discounts, and at the same time, they’re giving local retailers a boost,” Webb added.

During the exhibition dates, select retailers at The Dubai Mall will be offering attractive discounts to Big 5 PMV exhibitor and visitor badge holders, and Jumeirah Emirates Towers will be offering a 30 per cent discount on food at their restaurants, the statement said.

Shuttle buses will carry exhibitors and visitors to The Dubai Mall, and will also be available for transportation between the Financial Centre and Al Jafiliya Dubai Metro stations and the exhibition venue.

Big 5 PMV visitors can also submit their business cards for the chance to win a Seawings Pearl flight, or an Audi TTS track experience at the Dubai Autodrome.

The Big 5 PMV will run alongside the Big 5, a leading construction and contracting event. – TradeArabia News Service
