The Hotel Show Dubai 2027 is scheduled for 1 to 3 June 2027 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, United Arab Emirates. Organised by dmg events, The Hotel Show is a leading regional trade show for hospitality supplies, equipment and design, covering contract furniture and fit-out, kitchen and laundry equipment, tableware and textiles, and hotel technology, and is held with INDEX and Workspace.
Indian professionals travelling to attend generally need a short-term UAE visit visa, usually arranged before departure. An event registration or badge confirmation and, where relevant, a host or business-partner letter support the trip.

For Indian passport holders
UAE Visit Visa for The Hotel Show Dubai 2027
The United Arab Emirates does not have a visa-waiver arrangement with India for ordinary passport holders. Most Indian business visitors travel on a short-term UAE visit visa arranged before departure — usually through an airline, a hotel or a licensed UAE visa agent. Travellers who already hold a valid visa or residence permit from certain countries may be eligible for visa on arrival; eligibility rules change, so confirm your status before booking.
Commonly required documents
- Passport valid at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
- Confirmed return air ticket
- Hotel booking or host / sponsor details
- Expo registration or visitor badge confirmation
- Business-partner or sponsor letter, where applicable
- Evidence of sufficient funds for the stay
An invitation letter and expo registration support an application but do not guarantee approval, and processing times are not fixed. The final decision rests with the UAE authorities.
