The CAEx team held a working meeting with the management of Hampton by Hilton Tashkent to analyze current challenges in Uzbekistan’s HoReCa industry.

CAEx Chief Operating Officer Mehmet Dukkanci and Head of CAEx Food & HoReCa Abdulaziz Ikramajanov visited the Hampton by Hilton hotel in Tashkent. During the visit, they held a working session with the hotel’s General Manager, Dilnoza Arzubayeva, and Sales Manager, Mirjovlan Mirhodjiev.

The primary goal of the visit was to gather market insights for a deeper understanding of the current state of the food industry and the HoReCa sector in Uzbekistan. Direct dialogue with industry practitioners enables exhibition organizers to more accurately tailor their platforms to business needs.

Mehmet Dukkanci, CAEx Chief Operating Officer, commented on the outcome of the meeting:
“This was an extremely productive visit. Learning about the industry’s challenges directly from the General Manager of such a prominent hotel is invaluable for our team. It allows us to see the market situation firsthand.”

During the discussion, particular attention was paid to how exhibition platforms can support businesses in addressing operational challenges.

Abdulaziz Ikramjanov, Senior Sales Manager of the CAEx Food & HoReCa project, noted:
“This meeting helped us define the development direction for our upcoming exhibition. We aim to create not just an exhibition, but a full-fledged solution hub for hoteliers, restaurateurs, and café owners.”

The visit underscores CAEx’s commitment to close collaboration with market leaders in order to develop high-quality business platforms in Uzbekistan.
