COP28 | Catering & Hospitality
Expo City Dubai
COP28, hosted at Expo City Dubai, brought together more than 600,000 delegates, world leaders, industry experts and visitors for one of the largest and most significant climate conferences ever held. As part of this landmark global event, TGP Catering & Hospitality played a key role in delivering exceptional catering and hospitality experiences across the venue.
Our contribution

Every menu was carefully curated to cater to an international audience, offering diverse, high-quality cuisine while accommodating a wide range of dietary and cultural preferences.
