POSITIVE VIBE

Yasmine Shirley Shaji, an Abu Dhabi-based expat, is leaving the UAE for good this month, but plans to return in December and attend the Expo.

“The free Expo ticket offer is a bonus,” she says.

Maneet Kaur, who works for a well-known F&B brand in UAE, is counting on the traffic generated by the event to meet her targets. “If tourists come in for Expo, they would be staying in hotels and spending money at restaurants - we are preparing for good sales,” said Kaur.

“Orders have increased, especially since hotel launch dates have been brought forward to coincide with the Expo,” she says.
