Sometimes we imitate the West in some business, marketing and management strategies, forgetting that we have our own culture and behaviors and some of these strategies may not suitable to our thinking as Arabs . Therefore, I strongly believe that sometimes we do need special standards for example for hospitality industry to match with our nature , identity and culture of Arab countires ! Yes we are part of the world but we have our own identity ! #marketing #businessstrategies #hospitality

About how much did hotels and food cost for the 97,372 COP-28 attendees? Athough many of the participants were high level, even VIPs, not constrained by typical limitations imposed by the UN system, multilater agencies and bilateral organizations, the Daily Subsistence Allowance prescribed by the UN provides a rough floor. November's DSA for Dubai was US$493, while December's went up to US$590. Full participation during the regular event would require 3 days in November plus 14 days in December, for a total allowance of USD $9149 Multiplying that by the 97,372 on-site attendees, and it would appear that at least $890,856,428 was available. In other words US$891 Million. Since undoubtedly many participants spent more than such allowances on hotels, meals and entertainment, a ballpark figure of US$1 Billion seems very plausible.

Following tremendous feedback for our highly successful events in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in late 2022, which unlocked something totally new to the region and brought international and homegrown brands together to connect, explore and develop potential opportunities to expand their brands into a burgeoning market... It gives us great pleasure to announce that #RLI will be taking its dedicated Deal-Making Forum for the MENA region, RLI Connect MENA to Riyadh 4-6 February 2024 in association with DBT - The UK Department for Business and Trade to continue building those all-important relationships whilst bringing together the world of retail & leisure under one roof to Connect, Explore and Develop the significant opportunities that the region offers. As our 'Trade & Investment Partner', DBT's aim is not only to support British businesses to trade and grow internationally but to assist international brands set up successfully in the UK and following my involvement with the وزارة الثقافة Ministry of Culture هيئة الأزياء Fashion Commission at our last events I feel that there is huge potential for Saudi home grown brands here in the UK.
