ME by Meliá Dubai Partners with DET to Launch ME Dubai Supports Local Initiative

April 2026, Dubai, United Arab Emirates: In a powerful show of community support and creative energy, ME by Meliá Dubai has announced the launch of "ME Dubai Supports Local", a dynamic new initiative developed by the hotel's Director of Marketing and Sales with the support from the wider management team and in partnership with the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). Taking place from 7th to 10th May, the platform is dedicated to spotlighting exceptional local brands and entrepreneurs at a time when supporting regional businesses has never been more important.

Set within the hotel's signature atrium, a high-footfall architectural centrepiece, the space will be transformed into a vibrant marketplace of creativity, culture and craftsmanship. A total of 40 complimentary showcase spaces are being offered to homegrown businesses, providing a unique platform to present their work to a diverse and discerning audience. From abayas and jalabiyas to artisanal perfumes, participating brands will showcase their stories, products and creativity within one of Dubai's most design-forward hospitality destinations.

Selected brands will not only gain exposure within the hotel but will also enjoy an exclusive 30% discount on stays and food & beverage throughout the initiative.

Bringing together a mix of emerging and established concepts, ME Dubai Supports Local offers brands the opportunity to connect with new audiences in an inspiring, design-led environment. The initiative reflects ME by Meliá Dubai's ongoing commitment to fostering creativity, culture and meaningful collaborations within the local community.

Entrepreneurs and local brands are invited to register their interest by submitting a brief introduction to their business via email at sales.me.dubai@melia.com. Registration is open until 29th April 2026.
