Indian architect firm Rajiv Khanna & Associates (RKA), which specializes in recreation and leisure design work, is opening a representative office in Sharjah as it looks to grow its Middle East business.
The company is currently designing a family fun centre for the Landmark Group at the Reef Mall in Deira, Dubai, and it is looking to forge regional joint ventures.
RKA has been designing leisure parks, water and snow parks and other recreation projects for 23 years and has offices in India, Canada and the US.
It will be returning to the Theme Parks & Fun Centres 2004 (TPFC) show at Dubai International Exhibition Centre from April 27 – 29 after a successful first visit last year.
Director, Rajiv Khanna, said: As an established design consultancy in India for more than 20 years we are now concentrating on the Middle East where we would like to broaden our work base.
TPFC was a big success for us last year as we got one project out of it and have others in the pipeline.
He added:This region is rapidly developing into an international tourist attraction and added recreational and leisure facilities will make it an enviable destination.
TPFC 2004, which is organised by International Expo-Consults (IEC), is celebrating its 10th anniversary and has to date contracted exhibitors from 25 countries
Abdul Rahman Falaknaz, President of IEC, said: The number of international firms taking part in TPFC this year is a reflection of the growing importance of the region as a developing market for leisure and entertainment.
TPFC has the support of the American Amusement Machines Association (AAMA), International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions (IAAPA) and the Themed Entertainment Association.
