## Overview

Gulfood now spans two venues about 40 km apart, Dubai World Trade Centre on Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City. Turkish food exhibitors usually come with export managers and company owners, and need a hotel plan that works for whichever venue their sector is in, plus transport for meetings at the other.

We book hotels close to the right venue, arrange shuttles and cars between DWTC, Expo City and client offices, and handle DXB transfers. We organise distributor dinners and tasting evenings with Turkish or regional cuisine, and short programmes for teams staying on after the fair.

BravoDays is an independent ground-services provider and is not affiliated with the organizer of Gulfood. Tickets, stand space and official programmes are handled by the organizer; we take care of rooms, transport and hospitality around the fair.

## What we handle around the fair

- **Hotel blocks near the venue:** We hold rooms early where available and offer nearby alternatives with shuttles when the area is full.
- **Airport and fair shuttles:** Airport pick-ups, daily hotel–fair shuttles and VIP cars timed to opening and closing hours.
- **Client dinners:** Private dining rooms, Bosphorus boats or rooftop terraces booked for your guest list.
- **VIP & buyer programmes:** Meet-and-greet, city programmes and transfers for the clients and buyers you invite.
- **Side events & launches:** Venue, AV, catering and staff for press breakfasts, product launches and receptions outside the halls.
- **Team evenings & offsites:** A dinner, a cruise or a short offsite to thank the stand team after a long week.

## Questions

### Can you find hotel rooms near Dubai World Trade Centre & Dubai Exhibition Centre (Expo City) during Gulfood?

Hotels closest to the venue fill early at fair time, so the sooner you send us your dates and headcount the more choice you have. Where available we hold room blocks for exhibitors and visiting groups, and when nearby hotels are full we offer alternatives a little further out with scheduled shuttles to the venue. We cannot guarantee availability or rates until a booking is confirmed by the hotel.

### Do you organise client dinners and stand hospitality during Gulfood?

Yes. We arrange client and distributor dinners, private dining rooms, evening receptions and transfers for your guests, and can coordinate catering or hospitality staff for your stand through suppliers approved by the venue. Popular restaurants book up during fair week, so tell us your preferred evenings early. Anything inside the exhibition halls follows the organizer's and venue's rules.
