Gulf Travel Show growing connections

The first one-of-a-kind virtual event in the GCC in the post pandemic era kicks off on November 23 and 24 with two days of connecting the industry leaders on a networking platform like no other. SCTDA and RAKTDA have partnered as Gold and Platinum sponsors respectively.

HE Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, Chairman, SCTDA
The Gulf Travel Show redefines the way we promote travel and tourism, providing a platform to showcase how we are building on what we achieved during the COVID-19, and planning for a stronger future post COVID-19. Such shows and events are crucial to communicate Sharjah’s tourism story and showcase our tourism assets to the local, regional and international markets. Through innovative solutions, GTS connects exhibitors and buyers worldwide under one virtual show to present their unique brands. It also offers an opportunity for direct access to target markets, including one-on-one video meetings. Sharjah is inviting all the visitors to witness our natural attractions set against the latest tourism and hospitality projects, especially in Khorfakkan and with the new road linking the eastern coast town to reach Kalba from Sharjah.

Raki Phillips, CEO, RAKTDA
We are really excited to be Platinum sponsors for the Gulf Travel Show. This virtual platform gives us the opportunity to showcase Ras Al Khaimah as one of the fastest growing tourism destinations in the region. We look forward to connecting with our partners and re-introducing them to why Ras Al Khaimah is the perfect destination in the new normal era of travel. Ras Al Khaimah is known as the natural emirate with 64 km of pristine beach front, a beautiful topography from the desert and the mangroves.

Marko Muthig, Regional Director Sales Asia, TUI Hotels and Resorts
We at TUI Hotels and Resorts will be showcasing our properties, namely, Robinson Club Maldives, Robinson Club Khao Lak, Robinson Club Noonu, Robinson Club Cyprus, TUI Blue Nam Hoi An and TUI Blue Bahari Zanzibar. We are participating at GTS with an aim to reconnect and build new relationships with our travel trade partners in the Middle East. This will be a good opportunity to build confidence and to communicate to the partners our health and safety preparedness in welcoming their guests when the border opens.

Hyunsun Hong, Regional Director, MENA, Korea Tourism Organization
Gulf Travel Show gives us an opportunity to remain connected with the travel trade amidst these unprecedented times. Prior to the show, KTO has also been active digitally, organising webinars and social media campaigns. KTO has continued to promote the destination and remain connected with our audience.

We will distribute e-brochures, trade presentations and educate the trade on risky and risk-free destinations post COVID. Korea is nowhere in the list of Top 75 infected countries.

Gulf Travel Show (GTS) with its proprietary exhibition software will help you recover, rebuild and innovate relationships and products. Although this is a virtual event, our goal is the same as live events- to introduce you to buyers, help grow your brand and build long-term profitable business connections.

Countdown to the Gulf Travel Show has begun; buyers are eagerly waiting to reconnect with their partners and suppliers are geared up with the latest safety measures. Tourism is raring to start and the first time ever Gulf Travel Show promises to stimulate travel on November 23-24, 2020. National tourism boards have already started preparing for the event and the exciting hosted buyer programme promises quality meetings with the right partners. As the brand suggests, it’s time to resume, restart, reconnect, reimagine, rethink, reengage and reignite travel with the perfect blend of personalised services and technology.
