DTCM PLANS FESTIVITIES FOR UAE NATIONAL DAY

The National Day Committee of the Government of Dubai's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), met earlier this week to chalk out elaborate plans to promote the country's heritage and culture during the 30th UAE National Day celebrations that will be staged from the third week of December.

"In line with the directives of HH General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown prince of Dubai, UAE Minister of Defence and Chairman of the DTCM, we are keen to use this opportunity to promote Arab traditions and culture and at the same time instill the spirit of national pride," said DTCM Manager Heritage Sites and Events and Chairman of the DTCM's National Day Committee, Awadh Al Seghayer.

He noted that the DTCM has planned a full programme of cultural events to outline the department's commitment to promoting the country's heritage.

"We will back up this promotion with an extensive advertising print and broadcast campaign to secure its success and promote both inter-emirate travel as well as attract visitors from the GCC," concluded Mr. Seghayer.
