While staying at the Shangri-la Hotel in Dubai, I was pleasantly

surprised to see the worlds tallest tower directly  in front my suite.

It is as magnificent as anyone can imagine and makes Dubai a

must visit business destination. The entire city has a vibe that I

have not experienced before. It is a calm yet busy city, with

breathtaking architecture (an architects dream) and smooth flowing

roadways.

You feel transformed into the future.

Despite current financial difficulties this city will flourish and should

be a model city for the future.

Conducting business in Dubai is professional and interaction is extremely

calm, and courtious. Services are top notch and everyone aims to please.

It has a multi-cultural feel and makes you feel at home even upon arrival.

Dubai promotes itself as the city of the future, striving to offer everything

in one place. Things that other cities cannot offer – and at the same time

everything that is builds needs to be the best, the biggest, the shiniest,

the most expensive, and the first-of-its-kind.

This city now boasts the world’s tallest tower: the BURJ DUBAI

(burj is the Arabic word for tower).

Burj Dubai has now hit its maximum height at

818 m (2,684 ft)(  spire is completed)& is set

for September 2009 “soft” opening.

I loved my stay in Dubai and so should you!

With  innovative construction project concepts, the most favorable investment-friendly climate,  dynamic exhibitions and events sector, Dubai is one of most prosperous destinations for business tourism.

The Society of Incentive and Travel Executives (SITE)  said Dubai is one of the most popular destinations in the world for companies organising overseas meetings and incentive travel.

SITE is a not-for-profit, international professional association dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in incentives. 

Endorsements by international organisations add enormous significance to the forthcoming 8th Global Travel and Tourism Summit to be held by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAEand Ruler of Dubai, from 20-22 April at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai.

The summit is a stage for businessmen from around the world to discuss latest trends in travel and tourism.

The choice of Dubai for the summit affirms major strides the emirate has taken in travel and tourism, endorsing the vision and policy of the Dubai Strategic Plan 2015.

Dubai is a sensible choice for businesses to set up operations as a major connection to regions such as the Middle East, Africa, South and Central Asia. 

Many Fortune 500 firms have made Dubai their base due to its excellent infrastructure and business environment. 

Dubai’s leadership is further augmenting the emirate’s status as a  major regional business core.

With the Dubai Strategic Plan 2015, unveiled in February 2007, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed made Dubai as a model for economic diversification, emphasizing on investment in non-oil business.

Tourism  figures prominently in his plan, standing out in the emirate’s economic development.

 Dubai’s travel and tourism sector is growing quickly. Hundreds of thousands of business visitors and exhibitors increase the demand for accommodations, restaurant services, as well as transportation and other related conveniences’.

Today, meetings, conferences and exhibitions have become a key component of the Dubai’s business and tourism expansion.

Dubai hosts over 100 major international exhibitions making it the leading destination for conferences, and events.
