ADIHEX 2018 to focus on Sheikh Zayed’s efforts in promoting sustainable hunting

ABU DHABI, 30th May, 2018 (WAM) -- The 16th edition of the International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition, ADIHEX 2018, will take place from 25th to 29th September, 2018, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, ADNEC, under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Emirates Falconers’ Club. In preparation for this international event, the Higher Organising Committee of ADIHEX 2018 met to discuss its strategic vision and innovative highlights. The meeting was chaired by Majid Ali Al Mansouri, Chairman of the Higher Organising Committee and Secretary-General of the Emirates Falconers’ Club. The committee discussed the main theme of ADIHEX for the "Year of Zayed" in line with the announcement of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan declaring 2018 as the Year of Zayed in memory of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s birth centennial. ADIHEX 2018 fully supports the Year of Zayed through this international exhibition that was established in 2003 to become one of the most important exhibitions in this field that successfully achieved media coverage and participation with more than 100,000 visitors from over 120 countries last year. The Committee discussed the main objectives of ADIHEX 2018, which involve shedding light on the cultural movement in the UAE and the promotion of arts and culture that affirms the national identity and preserves the rich heritage of the UAE. As part of the Year of Zayed, Japan will be a guest of honour with a display of local Japanese heritage on a stand, which is organised by the "General Incorporated Association Japan Promotion" and attracts more than 250,000 visitors every year in Paris. Additionally, in line with the theme, ADIHEX 2018 will encourage artists to create artwork dedicated to the Year of Zayed. "We have worked very diligently towards expanding and developing the vision of ADIHEX for 2018 to ensure that it fulfils the goals of the Year of Zayed, which is our central focal point for this year’s event. We have also re-designed the look and feel of ADIHEX, as well as the floor plan in an innovative way whereby visitors can view all the sections, stands and activities so it is an interactive and educational journey that they feel inspired and more culturally aware through a moving experience," Al Mansouri said.
