We saw excellent quality of visitors here at The Big 5 Construct Qatar. We had people come here from India, from Africa, and from here in the
Gulf - it has been amazing to see so many relevant people in one area. We actually do around 10 exhibitions in the year, in Algeria, in Kuwait, Turkey, Kenya, Uganda, here in Qatar and more. So, we are in a good position to compare exhibitions. In Qatar I went to an exhibition in May and I took a huge stand compared to today, but I did not have the quality of customers like I have done this week, the quality here has been way better. I have to say the quality of visitors, and the alignment with exhibitors here are amazing and the best we have experienced.
