The exhibition was part of Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM)'s continuous endeavour to showcase Dubai's excellent tourist facilities to the European travel industry, with the support of Dubai's public and private sectors.

Mr. Saleh Al Geziry, DTCM Executive Overseas Promotion, who represented the department, said, "Europe is an important growth market for Dubai's tourism industry. We participated in Fitur 2005 to increase awareness on Dubai's unrivalled tourist facilities among the Spanish travel trade."
In 2005, DTCM is participating in 31 exhibitions, and conducting 12 road shows across the world, a 70 per cent increase over 2004, to secure Dubai's leading position on the world tourism map.
"The Dubai pavilion received significant interest from the Spanish travel trade, tourists and dignitaries in Spain. Exhibitions such as Fitur, present an ideal opportunity for us to showcase Dubai and interact closely with several members of the travel trade," he continued.
