For the seventh consecutive year, Dubai is having a strong presence at the Worldwide Exhibition for Incentive Travel, Meetings and Events (IMEX) which is underway in Frankfurt until May 28.
The IMEX-2009 edition sees 43 co-participants from Dubai’s expanding tourism industry sharing 355-square-metre Dubai stand with 28 booths under the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) umbrella.
The DTCM invited the Business Tourism industry decision-makers, the co-participants and the Media representatives for a “Dubai Starter Snack” at the Dubai Stand on May 26 and 27.
The DTCM delegation is led by Mr. Eyad Ali Abdul Rahman, DTCM Executive Director Media Relations and Business Development, and includes Mr. Hamad Bin Mejren, DTCM Executive Director Business Tourism, Mr. Saleh Al Geziry, DTCM Director Overseas Promotions, Mr. Mohamed Al Muhairi, DTCM Head of Overseas Promotions’ Canada and USA Region, Mr. Jerad Bachar, Director Dubai Convention Bureau, and Mr. Abdulla Yousef, Sales Executive Dubai Convention Bureau.
The strong commitment of DTCM in promoting Dubai as the leading convention and meeting hub in the Middle East region ensures that the Business Tourism sector has a promising future in Dubai.
Mr. Eyad said Dubai’s strong participation in IMEX over the years reflects the keenness of DTCM in promoting Dubai strongly in key source markets, including tapping the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) industry. Germany, he said, has remained a major source market for Dubai’s tourism industry.
