BCCI chairman details projects designed to revitalize old markets

First Vice Chairman Khalid Alzayani, who is head of the BCCI old markets committee, presided over a recent meeting that was held in Bait Altijjar. 

During the meeting, Alzayani reiterated the goal of the old markets committee of the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) -- collaborating with GCC countries to develop and support old markets.

Meeting attendees also discussed the group’s commitment to revitalizing old markets and overcoming challenges that are halting the partnership between government, business and economic entities in Bahrain. 

It was highlighted by the group that the revived old markets will not be in competition with the newer shopping centers, but will act as historic and cultural tourist attractions, each with their own unique identity.
