As governments across the MEA region are investing heavily to develop world-class tourism and entertainment infrastructure as part of their economic diversification strategies, the leisure and entertainment industry is experiencing a period of boom in the post-pandemic era.
Driving growth for the industry are family entertainment centres (FECs) and theme parks, which are expected to record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 10% in the coming years, indicates a report by consulting company RedSeer. Moreover, the MEA gaming market is projected to surpass $5 billion by 2025, with Saudi Arabia and the UAE leading the way.
