The 2024 Dubai International Boat Show concluded on the 3rd of March, a little over a month ago now, and it was a huge success for all parties involved, albeit a very intensive few days! Going into the show, our main objective was to re-establish ourselves within the Middle Eastern market after an almost twenty-year absence, and we received lots of positive feedback! Throughout the show at our MLL-118 stand, we took thirteen ship models, three architectural models, three plane models and five vehicular and miscellaneous models, in the hopes to display as much variety as possible, as well as showing off our craftsmanship! They were all hugely popular and garnered lots of interest from attendees and fellow maritime professionals alike. We have been expanding our horizons in recent months in terms of custom models, branching out from solely maritime-based products and venturing into the world of aviation models. It's incredibly complex, however, our extensive experience in the modelling industry has really allowed us to get off to a running start, and we're loving the new opportunities that have presented themselves thanks to this! DIBS was the perfect place to demonstrate and show off our new skills and variety, and this proved to be a fantastic decision as we made some key sales, generated new corporate leads and corresponded with co-exhibitors and visiting clientele. Dubai is such a central hub of the world, and so we received leads from companies based all over the world, including North America, Africa, Europe and elsewhere in the Middle East. Only 8% of the residents in the UAE are Emirates, and so it’s massively diverse and eclectic.We also received enquiries for machine, plane, submarine, car, yacht and architectural models, and so the show was absolutely a worthwhile investment.
