The first week of the Arabian Peninsula workshops has now wrapped up with more than 190 agents attending the joint Dubai Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (DTCM), Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) and Sultanate of Oman Tourism seminars.
Attendance at each event greatly exceeded expectation and the collaboration between the three tourism bodies was well received as the workshops offered agents a great understanding of the region as a combined holiday destination.
Three winners won flights, accommodation and on ground components with the support of the regional carriers with Emirates, Etihad and V Australia Airlines; as well as hotel prize sponsors Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai; Jumeirah at Etihad Towers in Abu Dhabi; the Grand Hyatt Muscat and the newly opened Sifawy Hotel in Jabel Sifah Oman.
The winners at the three events were:
