ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 17th Jul, 2018) The Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau recently concluded its participation in the sixth edition of The Meetings Show, held at London’s Olympia on 27th and 28th June.
The Meetings Show is regarded as the premier event for the inbound and outbound meetings and event industry in the UK, and this year allowed over 700 exhibitors the chance to meet over 4,800 meeting and event professionals, offering hundreds of opportunities to learn, network and do business.
The Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau was joined by 14 stakeholders, who utilised the show to raise awareness of the emirate as a world-class event, incentive and exhibition hub. Over the course of the two days, 214 key buyers visited the Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau stand to hold meetings, learn about the destination and try their hand at Arabic calligraphy whilst taking part in an interactive piece of artwork, and having the opportunity to win a holiday to Abu Dhabi.
Attending on behalf of the Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau was Sara Abdullah Al Aslai, the Conferences and Exhibitions Unit Head, who said, "We are delighted to have participated in The Meetings Show for the fifth time.
Each year it gets bigger and better and we were honoured to be joined by 14 stakeholders on our dedicated stand. The UK is Abu Dhabi’s leading European source market, so it is important that we attend shows such as this to nurture new and old relationships, ensuring these talks convert to future events, incentives and meetings in Abu Dhabi."
Joining the Abu Dhabi delegation were representatives from Anantara Hotels Resorts and Spas, BSL middle East, Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi, Emirates Palace, Etihad Airways, Gulf Circle Tours, Gulf Dunes, Intercontinental Abu Dhabi, Le Royal Meridien, Marriott Hotel and Marriott Executive Apartments Downtown Abu Dhabi, Rotana Hotels and Resorts, Yas Conference Centre (also representing Yas Marina Circuit), Yas Experiences and Yellow Boats Abu Dhabi.
The UK is the leading European source market and the third largest overseas market for Abu Dhabi, having seen a rise of 13 percent in UK visitors during 2017 when numbers reached 270,000. Figures for 2018 are looking healthy, with the first quarter registering a 24 percent increase.
