Welcome to Abu Dhabi

I want to bid all involved in GIBTM – whether exhibitor, visitor, Hosted Buyer or media – the very warmest of welcomes to a destination which is now prioritising the business events sector as never before. Most of you will have heard of our new Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau – our dedicated, one-stop resource to assist planners and organisers in bringing their event to our destination. The creation of this new entity sends a clear message of the importance we place on your business. Over the past 18 months Abu Dhabi has made significant inroads into the international convention market – and our efforts continue unabated. The global congress segment has been recognised by ourselves, and our stakeholders, as vital to our long-term tourism sustainability – that means you are appreciated as vital stakeholders in our onward progression. We hope during your visit to GIBTM you have time to get a greater understanding of our ambitions, our destination and its increasing attributes. The growth of GIBTM, which is apparent from the many countries and organisations represented at this 2013 edition, is an indicator of how far our regional meetings industry has evolved over the past seven years since the show was first launched. From small beginnings the industry, region-wide is maturing with facilities on a par with the best in the world and a service level which is keenly focused on consistent improvement – a trend which will continue. Outbound too, the sector is showing increasing maturity with the region now having a solid, indigenous corporate base on which to build. I look forward to the outcomes of the show in terms of business achieved, ideas sparked, research revealed and the confirmation of an over-riding commitment to this most resilient of sectors. Have a very pleasant and productive stay in Abu Dhabi and at GIBTM 2013. Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan Chairman Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority

Welcome to GIBTM 2013

A very warm welcome to the seventh edition of GIBTM and to the stunning city of Abu Dhabi. This year’s show looks set to be the most successful yet, particularly as our exhibitors, buyers and visitors are predicting good times ahead for the region’s MICE and business travel industries. Their confidence that more meetings and events will be booked and more budget will be dedicated to them in 2013 is supported by the findings of research houses such as YouGov, with nearly half (47%) of all UAE and KSA travellers it surveyed claiming they expect to increase their business travel in the next 12 months. Further insight into market conditions and sentiment will be revealed in the much-anticipated Seventh IBTM Middle East Meetings Report, presented on March 25th at 1pm; I urge you to attend. This year’s education programme has been tailored to inspire you and enhance your skills and understanding. Sessions will be delivered by the world’s leading industry associations, ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association, SITE (Society of Incentive Travel Executives), MPI (Meetings Professional International), and ACTE (Association of Corporate Travel Executives). The full programme is listed within the catalogue and also within your event app. Reed Travel Exhibitions (RTE) is also delighted to announce an elevated presence from a raft of over 70 first time exhibitors and the return of many of our loyal exhibitors at GIBTM 2013 – another sure indication the MICE and business travel sectors are entering a more buoyant phase. European participation has quadrupled, proving this influential region recognises GIBTM as a crucial platform for meeting lucrative Middle East buyers. There are 17 new European companies and destinations exhibiting in total including Serbia, Madrid, Athens, Georgia, Brussels and The Ukraine amongst many others.

Arabic Session

‫ةيبرعلا ةرودلا‬

In this new era of globalisation and with international travel to worldwide conferences becoming the norm, client travel decisions are becoming increasingly influenced by service standards, brand image and the ability to offer an authentic cultural experience. One of the biggest assets for any city or country is its human capital, and business travellers to the Arab world not only expect warm professional and knowledgeable service from local hospitality and travel professionals, but a sense of the heritage and culture of the destination. In this session, Culture and Tourism Consultant Ali Al Saloom will share his insight and tips on how the industry can capitalise on this opportunity to combine service excellence with cultural experiences. Ali will take participants on a ‘MICE 101 journey’ and help them unleash their mental creativity in order to appreciate and understand how hospitality and travel professionals can add value to their business, and their city, and develop a tailored business travel product. ‫ةماع ةدعاق لثمت تحبصأ يتلا تايلاعفلاو تارمتؤملا روضحل ملاعلا لود نيب لقنتلاو رفسلا ةرهاظو ديدجلا ةملوعلا رصع يف‬، ‫تارارق تتاب‬ ‫ةيفاقث ةبرجت ميدقت ىلع ةردقلاو ةيراجتلا تامالعلاو تاكرشلا ةعمسو ةمدخلا ريياعم ىلع ديازتم لكشب دمتعت رفسلاب ةصاخلا ءالمعلا‬ ‫ةزيمتمو ةليصأ‬. ‫مولعم وه امكو‬، ‫دلب وأ ةنيدم ةيأل ةبسنلاب لوصألا مهأ نم ادحاو يرشبلا رصنعلا ربتعي‬. ‫نوعلطتي ةيبرعلا ةقطنملا ىلإ نيدفاولا راوزلا نأ امك‬ ‫ةنسحلا ةروصلا ءاطعاو ةيقار ةينهم تامدخو تاجتنم ريفوت لالخ نم رفسلاو ةفايضلا عاطق يف نييلحملا نيلماعلا لبق نم مهب بيحرتلا ىلإ‬ ‫دلبلا ثارتو ةفاقث نع‬. ‫ةسلجلا هذه يفو‬، ‫مولسلا يلع ذاتسالا مدقيس‬، ‫ةحايسلاو ةفاقثلا نوؤش يف راشتسملا‬، ‫نكمي يتلا ةيفيكلا لوح ةقمعملا هتيؤر روضحلل‬ ‫تايلاعفلاو زفاوحلاو لامعألا ةحايس ةعانص لاجم يف ةمدقملا تامدخلا زيمت نع ةديج ةروص ميدقتل ةصرفلا هذه لالغتسا اهلالخ نم‬. ‫موقيسو‬ ‫عاطق يف نيلماعلا هفيضي نأ نكمي ام ىدم ريدقتو مهفو باعيتسا لجأ نم ةيعادبإلا مهراكفأل نانعلا قالطإ يلع روضحلا ةدعاسمب يلع ذاتسالا‬ ‫لامعألا ةحايس عاطقل ةبسانم تامدخو تاجتنم ريوطت نم مهنكمت كلذكو مهندملو مهلامعأل ةميق نم رفسلاو ةفايضلا‬.

Destination Guide

Tips and practical information to assist your enjoyment of Abu Dhabi

Opening Hours Shops and establishments may close in the afternoon, particularly the smaller ones around town. Opening hours are generally from 8.30am to 1pm and 4pm to 8pm, or later. Main malls will remain open throughout the day and tend to close around 10pm.

Tipping It is customary to tip when you feel you have received good service, although it is not obligatory. Gratuities to staff at hotels are at your discretion. Restaurant menus should list prices inclusive of the service charge, but some venues may note this separately on the bill. Whether you’d like to leave an extra tip is up to you. The usual tip is 10% of the bill. Taxi drivers often give you part of your change and wait to see if you ask for the rest. Tipping them is discretionary, but most people tend to give a few dirhams extra. Supermarket baggers, bag carriers and windscreen washers at petrol stations are generally given AED2-AED5.

Religion Islam is the official religion of Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with the majority being Sunni Muslims. The holy day is Friday with most government offices, companies and schools remaining closed.

Ramadan The holy month of Ramadan occurs in the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. During

RED SEA Start with business as usual, take a boat trip, relax for the day.

A business trip should live up to its “trip” bit. That’s why with its all-year sunny weather, the Red Sea Riviera has become more than just a hot destination for vacationers. It is now a meeting point, hosting some of the world’s most important conferences and events. Besides, it’s always nice to have the Red Sea’s beautiful sandy beaches and underwater wonders a walk away. For more info log onto www.egypt.travel
