This represents a remarkable 32 per cent growth compared to the same period in 2022.

The advanced kitchen, spanning 3,650 square metres, utilises smart solutions and cutting-edge technologies to ensure complete in-house production as per the best international practices.

Mahir Abdulkarim Julfar, Executive Vice President at DWTC, said: “DWTC is a global events hub, welcoming millions of visitors who expect nothing but the best from an industry leader.

“Our mission is not just to meet these expectations, but to surpass them. Our H1 results validate our leadership in the hospitality industry and mirror the consistent growth of DWTC year on year.

“Hospitality by DWTC delivers top-tier, award-winning catering for both on-site and off-site events, weddings, and F&B retail services, with a remarkable capacity to serve up to 20,000 guests daily.”

The H1 triumphs culminated in the DWTC culinary team’s record win of 17 medals (eight Gold, seven Silver, two Bronze) at the Emirates Salon Culinaire 2023.

Among 680 talented competitors, DWTC’s Chef Dwiyanti Cintaningrum clinched consecutive victories in the fiercely contested “Best Pastry Chef of the UAE” and “Best Four-Plated Dessert” categories.
