PUNTOITALY No29 - January 2022

FAIRS TOUR SPECIALITY FOOD FESTIVAL Dubai (UAE), 7 - 9 November The stop in Dubai represented our return to an international exhibition outside of European borders, a fantastic milestone that we lived with great enthusiasm and particular attention, enjoying the satisfaction of being in business again while respecting all the health and bureaucratic procedures to guarantee and completely safe event. Winter in Dubai, if we can use this term for the most dry and pleasant period of the year in the United Arab Emirates, is the stage of one of the most delicate and significant events which marks a phase oriented at trying to emerge from the pandemic. With the long-awaited Expo, it wants to demonstrate its desire to move forward without fear. Many other events that take place during the 6 months of the Great Expo entered this backdrop, especially regarding the food world: Gulfood Manufacturing, Yummex and Speciality Food Festival. The latter is where the puntoItaly magazine returned to manning a stand in the heart of the exhibition halls after a few years, where we found a pleasant confirmation of the interest in our country’s agri-food offering. Even if visitors from parts of the world that are a higher health risk were missing, half of Dubai confirmed its inimitable ability to attract competent and interested professionals from all over the world, allowing the exhibitors present to have a very concrete, significant and current vision of the industry today. 36
