From thrill rides and recordbreaking rollercoasters to the region’s most beloved waterpark – Yas Island’s theme parks offer unparalleled guest experiences that can’t be found anywhere else. With a constantly evolving calendar of events, we look forward to welcoming guests from across the region and beyond at all three parks during the upcoming year.

Dubai’s tourism numbers keep growing every year, and with the ever-changing landscape of tourism and hospitality we are expecting more businesses to join, which will certainly drive business to Dubai and to the region. With Flair No.5 being a huge success, we will come up with an innovative solution to keep it open in the summer.

Melville Gracias, Director of Sales & Marketing, Gulf Court
Dubai is no longer a seasonal tourist destination but a yearround destination. The change in consumer demands reflects how our clients’ demands are also changing. Since our location is convenient for both business and leisure guests, our focus would be to connect with key partners worldwide to understand their needs and cater to meet them.

Thameem Razick, Director of Sales and Marketing, Rose Park Hotel Apartments
Keeping inbound tourism as our focus point, we would try to make ourselves available on all platforms in the UAE and around the globe to showcase our properties in a diverse range of accommodations as well as the tourist attractions in the city. We hope to serve guest needs better and explore the latest technologies that would help us in lead generation.

This year we are teaming up with a responsive and stronger team. As we are focused on high-quality guest satisfaction, acquiring ideas from this event are prime tools to increase the ability to provide the experience that is expected by our guests. In the previous year, we had been appreciated by our guests and web partners and got high scores in reviews.

Ravi K Nair, General Manager, Best Western Hotels & Resorts
We are looking at the Dubai summer season whilst expecting guests from both leisure and business to visit us. Our properties are located in key areas where guests are exposed to true Arabian culture amidst modern environs. We are all gearing up for Expo 2020, as we can see the government preparing its infrastructure to ensure the high number of visitors to the UAE.
