“Dubai boasts a strong and diverse economy along with a booming tourism industry.
“Its strategic geographical location, state-of-the-art infrastructure and impressive business facilities are the most superior in the region and have paved the course to success as a world class MICE destination.
“Dubai is the perfect destination to host the world’s most prestigious events, such as the ITT conference.â€
