This mission will promote major UK interior design, contact furnishing and experiential companies servicing the leisure and entertainment sectors. The group will offer the capabilities to service large-scale design and supply contracts for high-end hotels, entertainment, leisure and retail developments. 

The two Expos in Riyadh offer DIT the chance to brigade together and support the constituent groups that focus on hospitality, entertainment and experiential sectors under one unified presence through a UK Lounge.

This group will have synergies in respect of the projects being developed in the leisure and entertainment sectors and are multi-layered with large-scale project management and urban planning/design elements factored in. It offers a pipeline to the UK supply chain for KSA government agencies, developers and potential local partners as the KSA continue to invest heavily in developing the country’s leisure and entertainment infrastructure.

In 2016, the General Authority for Entertainment announced over $2bn would be invested in the sector.
