The UAE has been declared as a “rising star” in the Middle East horizon by the meetings industry, which is bullish for the business this year.
The UAE and Qatar reached the top ranking for satisfaction, followed by Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt in the Middle East, according to the seventh IBTM Middle East Meetings Industry Research report that was released at the Gulf Incentive, Business Travel and Meetings Exhibition, or GIBTM 2013, which opened here on Monday at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
Destination-wise, buyers said the top six Middle East countries where they had staged events over the last 12 months were the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Qatar. According to the report, buyers are also on the look-out for new places to stage meetings and incentives, with 53 per cent expecting to increase the use of new destinations over the next 12 months.
