Why should you visit APLF DUBAI?

• Because its position equidistant from the 6 continents offers more direct travel routes. For example, buyers from Europe and America require less travel time to reach Dubai.
• Unlike Hong Kong (its previous venue) it allows a greater influx of visitors from all over the world.
• It enables a greater rapprochement between the footwear and tannery sectors of Western and Eastern Europe, with Africa, the Middle East and India.
• The United Arab Emirates is the most vaccinated country in the world, with 98.1% of the population immunized.
• Dubai was the first city to hold large-scale events during the pandemic. The activity resumed at the beginning of 2021 after it opened its doors for national and foreign tourists in mid-2020.
• Dubai is hosting the World Expo 2020 until March 31st, 2022.
