More and more visitors from across the Middle East are flocking to the Kingdom of Bahrain. As airline seats and hotels are getting booked up, the Kingdom is increasingly becoming the GCC families' choice of destination for this year's Eid Al Fitr with recently opened tourist attractions such as the Lost Paradise of Dilmun Water Park (Lost Paradise) boosting Bahrain's tourism.

Visitors from across the Middle East are preparing to make a splash and unleash their inner child whilst keeping the kids happy too! Excitement, fun and anticipation awaits the entire family as the Lost Paradise prepares to celebrate its first Eid with a line up of festive fun for everyone.

Hotel rooms in Bahrain are going fast to GCC visitors as are advanced flight bookings from across the region to Bahrain.

An airline spokesperson said, "We have had a surge of seat bookings well before Ramadan and expect it to continue. Bookings and cancellations occur everyday so it is hard to give an actual figure of those leaving their countries during the season. The rush to book for Eid increases as people leave during the last few days of Ramadan."

Bahrain has seen a marked increase in tourism and visitors from the GCC. The Lost Paradise of Dilmun water park has in turn also received a great number of visitors and reported major increase in ticket sales for the Eid season from neighbouring countries.

Chairman of Lost Paradise, Mr. Muhannad Hamad, comments "We are delighted to play a major part in attracting visitors to Bahrain as a regional tourist destination. We have already had significant numbers of visitors from across the GCC and from our advanced bookings we know this will only continue to increase.

Since the region's premier water park opened its doors in September, tens of thousands of visitors have come from across the GCC, with more than 10,000 guests visiting during just opening week. Eid is set to see record attendance at the Park so make sure you get there early!

In anticipation of record visitors from across the GCC, Lost Paradise has prepared Eid celebrations from a stunning Salsa performance by a live band at the Wave Pool and DJ entertainment to quizzes and games, there's sure to be fun for everyone.

Lost Paradise is also linking up with Gulf Air to bring Eid visitors a fantastic Lucky Draw competition. Simply enter the draw and you could be celebrating with 4 open destination Gulf Air tickets to any Middle East country. Other prizes during the draw include 4 free passes to Lost Paradise valid until the end of season 2007.

As part of this special Eid promotion, the park's mascots, Delmo and Delma will also be greeting the first 50 kids through the doors with a special gift throughout Eid. Eid opening times are 10am to 10pm, Saturday 13th October to Sunday 17th October 2007.

On gearing up for Eid celebrations, Paul Blunt, General Manager said "Delmo and Delma are so excited about welcoming the children and celebrating their first Eid that they are giving away special festive gifts to the first 50 kids who arrive throughout Eid. We have lots of fun activities for kids of all ages from giveaways to high-energy salsa dancing and of course our thrilling water slides. A fun-filled day out awaits everyone!"

Home to Bahrain and the region's wettest fastest rides the Lost Paradise of Dilmun has thrills for all the family. Divided into six zones, the park features 14 slides, pools and fountains, as well as themed food and drink outlets serving freshly made Arab and Western fast food specialties and ice creams.

Visitors are greeted by the park mascots, Delmo & Delma and an array of slides, including the Falcons' Dive, the giant Superbowl, Boomerango and the Family Raft Ride. 'The Souq', another unique feature of the park, is a 1,000 square meter retail area selling branded merchandise and souvenirs, resort wear and swimwear.
