ABOFA — خليج العقبة الأزرق: مستقبل في العمل ينطلق في AIEC في سبتمبر 2026

The Aqaba International Exhibition Center (AIEC) will host ABOFA — Aqaba Blue Ocean: Future in Action from 9–12 September 2026, organised by 1st Arabia na Fira Barcelona in partnership with the Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC), positioning the event as a logistics and industry focal point for diving, marine technology and coastal tourism in the Middle East.

Event focus and sector mix at a glance

ABOFA targets a cross-section of the blue economy: dive equipment and training, ocean technology, marine sciences, watersports, boating lifestyle and adventure tourism. The format combines exhibition halls, live demonstrations, and conference sessions to serve both commercial stakeholders and public enthusiasts.

Core exhibition categories

Who will attend

• Manufacturers and equipment suppliers looking for regional market entry
• Destination managers and tour operators scouting partnerships
• Researchers and NGOs planning conservation-to-tourism pipelines
• Consumers seeking hands-on demos and live experiences

Programme mechanics and visitor experience

ABOFA is structured as a B2B and B2C platform: exhibition booths and product launches will sit alongside immersive activations and live demos on shore and in controlled water zones. Curated networking sessions aim to connect investors, policymakers and operators for deal-making and joint ventures that can directly affect regional marine tourism supply chains.

Logistics and participation

Space reservations are open through the event website; companies can register via the organisers’ booking portal at www.abofa.jo/book-your-space. The venue’s proximity to Aqaba’s port and transport links has been highlighted to streamline freight for large exhibits and boats, while local infrastructure upgrades are expected to support increased tourist flows during the show.

Sustainability, conservation and travel implications

ABOFA places sustainability at the centre of its agenda, showcasing Jordan’s marine conservation initiatives and tech-driven stewardship solutions. For travel professionals, the event offers a practical forum to design eco-friendly experiences—such as guided reef tours, certified dive trails and conservation-focused excursions—that can be marketed to discerning international visitors.

What to expect from demonstrations and networking

• Live ROV and dive-gear trials that can be translated into new tourist activities
• Panel sessions linking policy to private investment in marine tourism
• Business matchmaking aimed at product distribution and destination partnerships

For travellers planning to combine attendance with local excursions, third-party platforms and tour operators will likely bulk up their offerings around the event. Platforms like GetExperience.com enable secure online payments with voucher confirmation and let visitors submit tailored requests for tours or excursions, helping attendees and non-attendees find the best local experiences while ensuring transparent booking and payment processes.
