As DUBAI embarks on an unprecedented journey of transformation with its Vision 2030, the entertainment sector stands as a beacon of progress. With the nation’s leisure and entertainment industry set to soar to $1.17 billion by the end of the decade, the landscape is brimming with opportunities for growth and innovation. Licenses have been issued for 24 theme parks and 421+ entertainment centers. More than 350 theatres and 2,500 screens will open in the Kingdom over the next 5 years. The Kingdom is undeniably on the cusp of a remarkable journey toward a vibrant leisure and entertainment industry.

But with great growth comes great responsibility. Amidst this exciting wave of development, there are crucial elements that cannot be overlooked – Health, Safety, Sustainability, and Inclusivity. These elements are the cornerstone of success for any attraction, ensuring not only profitability but also social responsibility. MENALAC is proud to bring its Health, Safety, Sustainability & Inclusivity Education Programs for the Leisure & Entertainment sector into Saudi Arabia. The groundbreaking inaugural MENALAC Health, Safety, Sustainability & Inclusivity Conference in Saudi Arabia will shine a spotlight on the indispensable need for integrating these elements into the fabric of leisure and entertainment attractions.

The Conference will bring together safety experts, regulatory bodies, leading operators, safety innovators, sustainability thought-leaders, and accessibility & inclusivity experts to delve into the significance of these crucial elements in leisure attractions. Discover cutting-edge technologies, innovative practices, and future trends shaping the landscape of safety, sustainability, and accessibility in leisure & entertainment.

Our inaugural conference aims to attract over 100+ Saudi Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Directors, Operation Directors, and Health & Safety Professionals. The program will feature keynote presentations by industry leaders, engaging Q&A sessions with high-profile speakers, thought-provoking panel discussions, and valuable networking opportunities to connect with industry peers and experts.

Be part of this transformative dialogue and help shape the future of leisure and entertainment in Saudi Arabia. Together, let’s pave the way for safer, more sustainable, and inclusive attractions that leave a lasting impact on both visitors and society.
