Dubai’s Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (DTCM) recently hosted over 500 guests from Dubai’s tourism industry at JW Marriott Marquis.
The guest list included Destination Management Companies (DMC) operators as well as hotel concierges and front of house staff. The event witnessed a briefing on major upcoming events for the next quarter, such as the Dubai Shopping Festival, Dubai Food Festival and Dubai Football Challenge among others.
The objective of the event was to provide customer facing teams with necessary information to keep them updated for tourists.
Issam Kazim, CEO of DCTCM said: “Concierges, hotel front house staff and tour operators and guides are the primary point of contact for visitors to Dubai. It is essential to ensure that our partners are kept up to date with new developments. We are about to enter a new year and what is traditionally one of Dubai’s busy periods; therefore, it is even more important to ensure that our frontline staff always have the latest information.”
Some of the events lined up for 2015 include the 20th Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) taking place from 1 January-1 February 2015. The second edition of the Dubai Food Festival will take place from 6-28 February 2015. The festival will showcase the Dubai’s culinary emergence through a 23 day programme of consumer and trade events, activities, promotions and appearances by food celebrities.
Industry partners were updated on the newly launched Dubai Tourism mobile application and website www.DubaiTourism.ae. The comprehensive application and website allows users to create their own itineraries for trips to Dubai.
