Among the highlights were visits to Atlantis, The Palm, Madinat Jumeirah and JW Marriott Marquis, all well-established hotels that offer both extensive accommodation and significant and state-of-the-art meeting facilities. The group also caught spectacular views of the city from At The Top at Burj Khalifa and absorbed the city’s heritage within the Al Fahidi Neighbourhood and Al Seef.
A tour of the Expo 2020 Dubai site also provided an opportunity to get a sneak peak of what will be an unrivalled opportunity for group visits once the six-month event commences in October 2021. Meanwhile, the final day of their visit saw the group enjoy a desert safari, followed by an evening of dining and entertainment under the stars – a unique experience that has proven to be consistently popular for business event groups.
DBE’s calendar of events in 2021 – spanning across the corporate, incentive and association segments – continues to take shape, with stakeholders from across the city coming on board to support activities in Dubai and around the world. The bureau will also maintain digital and virtual engagement to ensure all meetings industry professionals, regardless of their ability to travel or participate in face-to-face events, can engage with the team and stay updated on developments in Dubai.
