Gulf Incentives, Business travel and Meetings exhibition (GIBTM) has opened registration for meeting planners, incentive buyers and decision makers to apply for Host Buyer status at the event. The Hosted Buyer programme provides the chance for senior-level buyers to meet and look for new ideas and venues for their meetings and conferences. “Attending as a Hosted Buyer provides the best opportunity to meet and conduct real business with over 300 international and regional industry suppliers,” said Lloyd Kenyon, exhibition manager of GIBTM. “Hosted Buyers receive complimentary return economy flights on Etihad Airways (if required and route permitting) and accommodation in a 4 or 5 star Abu Dhabi hotel. There are also free transfers from the airport and official hotels to the venue, as well as access to the exclusive Hosted Buyer Lounge onsite.” In addition, buyers will receive priority appointments and a personalised online diary. To help recruit buyers, GIBTM has assigned a series of associations, agencies, publications and hotel groups to act as ‘group co-ordinators’ and commit to bring buyers to the show. Companies involved so far include the DMC Group, Expert Avis and Intercontinental Hotel Group. Meanwhile, the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority will be holding an ‘Abu Dhabi Day’ so buyers can explore the state they are visiting.
