Last year’s edition attracted 2,180 exhibitors and 15,026 visitors. The show had an exhibition space of 20,228 square meters.

The world’s third biggest travel and tourism fair is being held under the patronage of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and the auspices of the DTCM.

The department convened a meeting of the co-participants on April 27 to brief their representatives about the highlights of this year’s annual show, DTCM initiatives and the business and networking opportunities that would be available at the show during its four day run.

The DTCM Director Overseas Promotions and Inward Missions, Saleh Mohammed Al Geziry, said the Dubai Stand will be 1225 square metres — up from last year’s 1152.

Similarly, the number of co-participants also increased from 105 in 2009 to 114 this year.

The number of booths and corner areas of the stand have also been increased — from 78 to 87 and from four to seven, respectively.

The government entities participating at the Dubai stand are Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) and General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners’ Affairs (GDRFA).

Presentations will be carried out by GDRFA, RTA and Dubai Convention Bureau (DCB) which will be open to the Dubai stand co-participants.
