More than 80 key influencers from Germany’s travel and tourism industry were in Dubai as part of the emirate’s ongoing strategy to grow its share of the world’s largest outbound market for foreign travel.
Owners, CEOs and Product Specialists from Germany’s leading tour operators – including TUI, FTI, Thomas Cook, DER Touristik and JT Touristik – were in Dubai attending the inaugural DRV/FVW Destination Forum. This was a three-day event created by the German Travel Association Deutscher ReiseVerband (DRV) and FVW in partnership with Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM).
Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing said: “Our target is ambitious but with the investment being made by the government and our private sector partners and with your support in selling the destination to your customers, we have no doubt that it will be achieved.”
The event featured representatives from Dubai’s tourism industry discussing the ongoing diversification of the emirate’s hotel sector; developments within the cruise sector; Dubai’s credentials as a destination for conventions, conferences and meetings; and the connectivity between Dubai and Germany – Emirates airline alone operates 63 flights per week from Germany to Dubai (Munich, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Hamburg).
