TAAI Managing Committee Visits Dubai
The management committee team of Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI) have visited Dubai on a three-day familiarization tour aimed at further promoting Dubai as a value-for-money destination targeting the Indian outbound travellers.
The visit of the 24-member delegation to the emirate has been organised by DTCM’s India representative office with support from The Atlantis - The Palm, Movenpick Hotel and Lama Group.
From 198,383 Indian guests that Dubai hotel establishments hosted in 1999, the number of Indian hotel guests increased to 410,821 in 2007. DTCM has been operating a representative office in India since the past 12 years. Since 2004, it has been holding Dubai Road Shows in Indian cities and the 2009 edition of this promotional programme concluded earlier this month.
As per Dubai Visitors Survey 2006-2007 conducted by DTCM, Indian visitors are satisfied or over satisfied (91 per cent) with their overall experience in Dubai and 65 per cent of them said they will take another holiday in Dubai in the future.
Saleh Mohammed Al Geziry, DTCM Director of Overseas Promotions, said: “The number of Indian tourists coming to Dubai has
been rising significantly over the years. DTCM has been working towards tapping more Indian tourists and businessmen to the emirate.”
Carl Vaz, Director of DTCM Representative Office in Mumbai who accompanied the delegation said, “The visit of the TAAI will help us in promoting bilateral tourism between the two countries.”
