Dubai’s tourism industry stakeholders have been lauded for successfully showcasing their collective capacity to host international mega-groups this past week, accommodating, transporting and organising large-scale sightseeing tours and gala dinners for 14,500 delegates from China’s Nu Skin Enterprises Inc.’s incentive group.Commenting on the trip, the Dubai Convention and Events Bureau (DCEB), a division of the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) and the body responsible for bringing the massive group to the U.A.E., said industry stakeholders such as Arabian Adventures, Emirates Airlines, the Meydan Group, Dubai Airports, Department of Naturalisation and Residency Dubai (DNRD) and the Road and Transport Authority (RTA), in addition to the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), Emaar, Jumeirah Group, Alpha Tours and approximately 40 hotels, have been doing a great job showcasing Dubai and the U.A.E.’s capacity to host large international mega-groups efficiently and with ease.
Hamad Bin Mejren, DCEB Executive Director for Business Tourism, said, "Dubai and the U.A.E. have really come together to make this trip a successful and memorable one for all 14,500 of our Chinese guests. With our various stakeholders cooperating to provide a premier experience for the Nu Skin China group, Dubai is reinforcing its position as a capable global partner for large companies and associations who wish to meet with and entertain their colleagues in a welcoming international city." "Handling a group comprising of 14,500 people takes real knowledge and expertise and Arabian Adventures has shown itself to be a leading destination management company (DMC). With Dubai’s growing efforts to attract business events and large-scale conferences it gives us great peace of mind that we have companies in place that are capable of handling any task," he added.
