As a well read man is a treasure to a nation, much emphasis has certainly been vested on the subject of reading since days of old. The Abu Dhabi International Book Fair is organized in this context with the aim of building up and developing the publishing and book industry as well as promoting the priceless habit of reading throughout the United Arab Emirates.
The Abu Dhabi International Book Fair is said to be the fastest growing book fair in the Middle Eastern and the North African regions. Its strength lies in the professional organization that involves each facet of the fair that helps to make it a prominent event in the city. The visionary and the ambitious planning that is the essence of the fair is yet again a reason behind its success in the region.
Abu Dhabi is the hub of the development that takes occurs in the regional publishing industry and so its commitment is now expanding beyond the borders of the region, with the vision and aim of promoting success of the global book business. The distributors, publishers as well as the book sellers scattered throughout the Arabian Peninsula and Gulf region, consider the emirate as their reference point in the Arab book trade. With these trends setting the stage for the industry to flourish, this event will certainly take on greater heights in time to come.
The event has been a great success in the past years that it was organized, as attested by the number of publishers that were hosted. In the year 2013, 1,024 publishers from 53 countries participated in the fair making it a truly global event of prominence and so the aim of establishing long term relationships between Arab and international publishers with which the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair is organized is indeed fulfilled.
If you are planning to visit Abu Dhabi during the event which will take place between 30th April and 5th of May 2014 at the ADNEC Abu Dhabi, you may consider finding accommodation at an Abu Dhabi resort which is located close to the venue, such as Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara. The property is one of the leading Abu Dhabi beach hotels and provides an ideal base for your travels.
