After a period of almost three years, travel partners from more than 16 countries were able to network on an informal setting last month on the beautiful desert in Dubai. The travel trade partners explored the terrain in four-wheelers, bashing through the sand dunes in Dubai. This was followed by a grand red carpet welcome to an interactive evening, which kicked off with the famous belly dancers mesmerising the crowd with their dance steps, and fire dancing, which kept the guests on their toes. Speaking to TRAVTALK Jaal Shah, Group Managing Director of the Travel Designer Group, shared, “Our industry went through tough times; we had some rough years. ATM was not the same as it used to be, but this year we saw a good opportunity to network with people; meet them in a comfortable environment after two very productive days at the show and we thought that we will choose the evening of the second day where people can come and enjoy the desert. We wanted to show them hospitality of Dubai, what Dubai tourism is all about, how people enjoy in the desert and we wanted to ensure that the weather is right and it has been very kind, it was a fantastic weather and a fantastic evening and a very good turnaround. We are glad that we could meet and host people.”
Shah added, “TRAVTALK has been a very important part of this, they were targeting some dignitaries here and I see them here, all my friends from India and so many markets, today we have guests from more than 16 countries and its fantastic to be here and be able to organise this. For us, TRAVTALK has been part of our legacy, the relationship we have it has been the learning, the most credible media in India and TravTalk Middle East has been pioneer in the industry together in Middle East and I remember launching Rezlive in 2007 in Middle East and the first article and recognition was covered. Mr. SanJeet has been a very successful entrepreneur launching various ventures. It’s been fantastic working with him and TRAVTALK.”
Destination management company Turning Point Tourism partnered for this experience providing their new camp grounds to host this successful evening, they put together a great group of performers, who kept the audience mesmerised and engaged throughout the evening.
