naseba to launch 1st Annual Middle East Travel Congress in Dubai

Massive development all across North Africa and the Middle East has created many opportunities for the travel and tourism industry - making it a vital part of the Middle East economy. As the oil and gas reserves are gradually running out in the Gulf region, attention is being shifted to one of the biggest worldwide industries: tourism.

The economic and trade development in the Middle East region has led to an increase in disposable income and therefore in outbound travel. Leisure and business tourists in the Middle East are estimated to be spending more on outbound travel than European travelers.

Middle East Travel Congress introduces the benefits, pitfalls and effects of outbound and inbound travel in the Middle East and North Africa.
