3 Letter from the Chairman Dear Investor, new business set ups from Chinese SME s. Chinese Business Hub combines the concept of new Dubai It is increasingly apparent that Dubai is embarking on a new era of expansion that has propelled the Emirate to the forefront of global business and tourism. This is being fueled by the impressive continued success of Emirates Airlines, the increased need for importation of goods and provision of services to maintain a healthy increasing population, the tourism factor (which aims to put Dubai as the number one global tourist destination) and of course Expo The importance of Expo 2020 cannot be underestimated with 25 million visitors expected in 6 months, 280,000 new jobs and over $35bn of There is no doubt in our minds that Dubai South is the new heartland of opportunity in the Emirate. We have taken into consideration the location of the 438 hectare Dubai Trade Centre hosting Expo 2020 as well as the location of the world s largest airport Dubai World Central (DWC) which is primed to take over from the current full-to-capacity DXB as the world s busiest airport.

Already China is Dubai s number one trading partner, there are more than 350,000 Chinese Nationals Chinese visitor numbers expected to surge 98% in the next 10 years. We believe the combination of high demand for new Chinese business set ups in Dubai as well as the low original cost of the work unit at the end of the 10 years. Thank you for your consideration of this proposal. Yours sincerely ELVA TANG Managing Director - Chinese Business Hub
