Dubai amenities and facilities
are to be showcased in various cities across the world during February as part of the Dubai Department of
Tourism and Commerce Marketing’s (DTCM) initiative to promote the emirate
internationally to attract tourists and investments.
The DTCM Manager Overseas Promotions, Mr. Khalifa Ali Buamaim, said: “The
emirate’s state-of the art facilities will be the focus of attractions for a large
number of global decision makers in various sectors,” said Mr. Buamaim.
Dubai
participated at the World Travel India (Feb 5/8) in Mumbai, India, and
will be at the Holiday World 2004 (Feb 12/15) in Prague, Czech Republic, Italian
International Tourism Exchange (Feb 14/17) in Milan, Italy, Asia-Pacific
Incentive and Meeting Expo (Feb 17/18) in Melbourne, Australia, International CONFEX-2004 in London, UK, East Mediterranean International
Travel & Tourism Exhibition in Istanbul, Turkey.
The department is also organizing for the first time a series of three road shows
in New Zealand from February 10 to 13. The road shows cover three cities
- Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
“Showcasing Dubai at so many places around the world in a month might look
unbelievable. But this is exactly what we have been engaged almost every
month. Our efforts have brought recognition to the emirate as the most-visited
global destination in terms of travel and business,” said Mr. Buamaim.
The exhibitions in every destination are for specific sectors and Dubai’s
participation in these major events indicates the emirate’s commitment and
seriousness in all the areas of tourism.
“The events range from basic tourism exhibitions to specific purpose shows
such as Meeting, Incentive, Conferences and Exhibition fairs. The fact that the
emirate is participating in all such categories of events speaks volumes about
Dubai’s capability,” said Mr. Buamaim.
He stated that holding exhibitions, roadshows and workshops in different
countries has remained the foremost activity at the department to promote its
facilities among international audience.
“Participating in such events has matured Dubai immensely as a tourism
promoting destination. This has simultaneously given us impetus to hold and
conduct similar huge shows in the emirate,” said Mr. Buamaim. |
