Sharjah Tourism to participate in GIBTM 2008

Participation in this highly significant exhibition for the second time, the Sharjah SCTDA will organize Sharjah's delegation, which will include representatives of several organizations and authorities in Sharjah, as well as several key travel and tourism agencies.

This exhibition, which will be held in the Gulf for the second time, will put the spot light on the regional Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events (MICE) industry, providing networking opportunities, seminars and workshops that target the innumerable industries that cover the MICE sector.

Commenting on this participation, Mr. Yasser Mohammed Zamzam, Senior Commercial Development Executive at the SCTDA, said,

'Participation in this event is of great importance to us, as the exhibition provides a unique business-to-business platform for firms to come together under one roof; interact and communicate with each other and with decision makers, planners and those involved in this industry. Here, we can all learn and benefit from each other's experience in international meetings, protocol and conferences'.

'This is our second participation in GIBTM, and we are keen to make our presence felt, as our involvement here has been synchronized with the development of Sharjah as a favorable world class destination. Consolidating Sharjah's position on the international map of tourism is considered the primary mission on SCTDA's agenda and this goal can be achieved through our participation in such outstanding events, which ultimately attract local, regional and international interest,' Zamzam added.

He concluded by saying: 'We aim to create an active and definitive presence at this year's exhibition and to build on the tremendous successes of last year's event'.
