Continuing its streak of successes from previous editions and entering the second year of its second decade, the Horeca Kuwait Exhibition is set to kick off its twelfth session at the International Fairgrounds in the Mishref area from Jan 15 to Jan 17 in collaboration with Hospitality Services Company, the agent for Horeca.
Organized by Leaders Group for Consulting and Development, the exhibition aims to reinforce its leadership in the realms of hospitality at the Gulf, Arab, and international levels, reports Al-Anba daily.
Nabila Al-Anjari, General Manager of Leaders Group for Consulting and Development and Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the 12th Horeca Kuwait Exhibition, highlighted that the event will witness the presence of the personal representative of the President of the French Republic for the hospitality and food sector.
