BAHRAIN – A new company has been established to operate the currently under-construction Bahrain Expo City.
The Bahrain Exhibitions and Conventions Company will run the Expo City, near the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir.
The move was announced by industry and commerce minister and head of the Bahrain Exhibitions and Conventions Authority (BECA), Dr Hassan Fakhro.
“The new value adding enterprise will spearhead the exhibition industry and consolidate Bahrain’s status in this vital economic sector,” said a BECA statement.
The US$814m Expo City will be 10 times the size of the existing Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre in Sanabi, occupying a site of approximately 150,000sqm.
