Dubai’s reputation as a premier tourist destination is well-established, both in terms of visitation numbers and recognition through accolades such as the No.1 global destination in the Tripadvisor Travellers Choice Awards. Beyond leisure travel, Dubai has also emerged as a global leader in the strategic development and hosting of business events, contributing significantly to economic growth and diversification.
The global business events industry is a powerful catalyst for economic development. Studies show it contributes a staggering $1.6 trillion to global GDP annually, supporting millions of jobs. Recognising this potential, and guided by the visionary leadership of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the city has sought to strategically position itself as the leading hub for global business events.
This commitment is underscored by Dubai’s collaboration with organisations such as the International Congress & Convention Association (ICCA), which goes back to 2003. This partnership reflects a shared vision of promoting sustainable development within the business events industry, aligning with the broader ambitions outlined in Dubai’s Economic Agenda, D33 and global sustainability goals.
