The ceremony was attended by Mr. Mohammed Khamis bin Hareb, DTCM Director Operations and Marketing, and Mr. Salah Rashid Al Ansari, DTCM Manager, Visitors Information Bureau, along with other senior officials.
Mr. bin Hareb, while addressing the ceremony, said that the VIB employees played a very important role in projecting a visitor-friendly image of the emirate and in disseminating information to the tourists.
"New projects are on the anvil to sustain Dubai's booming tourism industry that will place additional responsibilities on the VIB staff members along with the rest of the department," he said.
The Visitors Information Bureaus handled in excess of 170,000 queries from tourists during the year 2005 as against an expected 115,000.
Mr. Al Ansari announced that a new VIB would be opened at the Ibn Batuta Mall soon. This is the sixth VIB in Dubai in the shopping mall after Deira City Centre, Mercato, Bur Juman, Hamarain and Wafi City.
The other three VIBs are located at the Dubai International Airport, Baniyas Square and Sheikh Zayed Road.
