Record numbers of visitors and exhibitors are set to attend the third Middle East Exclusive exhibition in Dubai next month, according to event organiser Channels Exhibitions.

Among the new exhibitors are US electronics and gadgets company Digital & Wireless, Danish fashion jewellers Pilgrim, Italian fashion accessories company and Pure Cape Textiles from South Africa. The companies will join more than 100 others exhibiting in the 5,000sq m (53,800sq ft) hall.

All attendees pre-registering for the event will receive an e-badge and visitors from the preceding Dubai Duty Free Golf tournament and Middle East Duty Free Association conference will be able to register at Middle East Exclusive desks onsite.

Channels Exhibitions managing director Justin Boutros said: "This year's event is set to be the biggest and most successful yet. We are delighted to see a record number of exhibitors committed to the region. As well as welcoming back our exhibitors from the previous two years, we are also delighted to welcome many newcomers who are keen to develop their business in the region. This show is about luxury retailing and we strive to offer suppliers the opportunity to present their products and business to the region's luxury retail market. It is great to see so many international companies keen to strengthen their business in the region and join us at the show this year."
