The city’s ambitious vision and world-class market fundamentals create a distinct advantage for hosting meetings here.
Dubai is home to significant industry clusters within healthcare, education, technology, transport, clean energy, water and space that can provide support, knowledge, and expertise to international business events.
AIR CONNECTIVITY: THE USP FOR DUBAI MICE
In addition to the robust industries based in Dubai, the city is also uniquely positioned close to India. Dubai is merely a short 3-4 hour flight from India. All major Indian airlines that cater to international destinations arrive in Dubai, including Indian Airlines and Jet Airways. In addition to these, Dubai-based Emirates and flydubai also fly out from all the major hub airports across India. There are about 500 weekly flights from India to Dubai.
The city’s great connectivity is centred on its two international airports: the Dubai International Airport and the Dubai World Central. Dubai International airport has a direct connectivity with over 240 destinations. The government’s open skies policy has made it possible for more than 140 airlines from around the world to bring visitors into Dubai. Emirates Airlines offers a special support programme for organisers of meetings, conferences and incentives that provides bonus discounts on airfares as well as other benefits, including one point of contact.
ENTERTAINMENT GALORE
Dubai is continuously launching exciting new attractions to cater to the growing appetite for leisure, which consequently means meeting planners have a wider variety of options to choose from. Visitors can explore the vast expanse of dunes through group desert safaris, and experience the nation’s culture and heritage through falconry and camel riding, or satisfy any need for adrenaline by sky-diving over Palm Jumeirah, swimming with sharks at the Dubai Aquarium, and skiing at one of the world’s largest indoor snow parks.
