Picsolve, the leading image capture partner for the leisure and entertainment industry, have announced that they have won an exclusive image capture contract for Dubai Parks and Resorts.
Under the agreement, Picsolve will provide a complete range of digital, video and image capture solutions, fully connected across the attractions in the theme park development. Expected to open in 2016, Phase 1 of the Dubai Parks and Resorts will comprise three theme parks: motiongate™ Dubai, Bollywood Parks™ Dubai, and LEGOLAND® Dubai as well as Riverpark (a grand entrance plaza) and Lapita (a family themed hotel).
Picsolve’s unique ‘Photo Tag’ and digital solution allows guests to ‘tag’ themselves or be ‘tagged’ across attractions using a barcode, wristband or directly from an app. Included in the comprehensive image capture provision will be photo and video on rides, in sets, with characters; unique computer aided experiences through Picsolve’s award-winning GSX technology platform; and roaming photographers will be on the ground at Riverpark. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase photos as part of an ‘all-inclusive’ package for all experiences captured throughout their visit. Photo gifts and branded photo books will be integrated at all four sites.
Raed Al Nuaimi, CEO of Dubai Parks and Resorts PJSC (under incorporation), said, “Dubai Parks and Resorts has partnered with Picsolve to offer to guests of the theme parks the most innovative photo and video image solutions. We are confident that with such world-class technology, visitors to our themed destinations will be able to create and take home memories that last a lifetime.”
Picsolve is committed to expand its presence in the region and will have in excess of 300 employees by full rollout, delivering the world class guest experience around photography. The growing team of Picsolve retail professionals will be trained in a proprietary ‘Retail Academy Programme’ to ensure five star customer service.

The world of photography in the leisure sector is changing dramatically and our investments in the retail and digital space over the last two years enable us to deliver on the bold vision we share with the management of Dubai Parks and Resorts, for what is one of the biggest projects of its kind this decade. By deploying our most advanced digital solutions and retail expertise, we will allow guests to access all their images and get more from their visit in a connected experience through all the attractions.”
