It has been fantastic. We’ve had a high number of visitors, and the show has exceeded our expectations. It’s been incredibly busy, showcasing top-tier major brands alongside many exclusive brands we proudly represent. This event has been a tremendous success for us.

Your booth has been attracting significant attention. Could you share more about what you are presenting?

We’re showcasing a complete solution for the kitchen industry. As a contractor specializing in industrial kitchen equipment, we provide an end-to-end service—from design and installation to comprehensive after-sales support.

With over 30 years of experience, how has Emirates Kitchen Equipment maintained its leadership position in this market?

We’ve been industry leaders for over three decades, and we’re very proud of that legacy. Our track record includes significant accomplishments, with our credentials speaking for themselves. The key to maintaining our leadership is innovation. The industry is constantly evolving with smarter technologies and advancements. We make it a priority to adopt these innovations, such as AI and IoT-enabled appliances that provide real-time feedback to customers, chefs, and end-users.

At its peak, the group owned more than 27 companies, with three major ones remaining today—Emirates Kitchen Equipment being one of them. My father’s vision was to establish businesses that deliver exceptional value, and Emirates Kitchen Equipment is a key part of that legacy.

The Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism is a global initiative launched during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in 2021 aimed at bringing together the tourism sector to cut carbon emissions by half by 2030 and reach net zero as early as possible before 2050, in line with science-based targets.

This accolade highlights the hotel’s dedication to the Six Pillars of sustainability, particularly focusing on Climate, Waste, Culture, Water, Nature, and Education.

Iftikhar Hamdani, Area General Manager of Coral Beach Resort Sharjah said, “I am incredibly proud to announce our inclusion among the signatories of the Glasgow Declaration Initiative on Climate Action in Tourism. This achievement not only recognizes our hotel’s commitment to environmental sustainability but also sets a benchmark for hospitality & tourism industry in the UAE. Our efforts—including our innovative waste management system, an on-site water bottling plant, energy-efficient operational systems, and our active partnerships in recycling and tree planting—illustrate our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint. By committing to measurable carbon reduction and sustainable operations, we aspire to inspire others in the hospitality industry to follow. At Coral Beach Resort Sharjah, we believe that our initiatives will not only benefit our guests but also make a lasting positive impact on our planet.”

As a signatory of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, Coral Beach Resort Sharjah has committed to raise its climate ambition in support of global climate goals. It also has agreed to deliver a climate action plan within 12 months, aligned with the five pathways of the Declaration (Measure, Decarbonize, Regenerate, Collaborate, Finance), report progress on an annual basis, and work in a collaborative spirit, sharing good practices and solutions, and disseminating information.
