The two-day event, slated to be held on 28-29 September, is to host over 300 international and regional stakeholders from key sectors, including governments, tourism agencies and investment institutions.
Dubai is set to host a mega tourism event – MENA Attractions and Destinations Forum 2022 – in September to explore upcoming cultural and leisure projects and ways to drive growth for the tourism sector.
The event is aimed at supporting countries in the MENA region to strategise and implement new plans for reopening existing destinations and attractions in a safe and sustainable manner post-pandemic.
The two-day event, slated to be held on 28-29 September, is to host over 300 international and regional stakeholders from key sectors, including governments, tourism agencies and consultancies, hotel chains, park owners and operators, museums, culture and heritage site authorities, technology and solution providers, and investment institutions.
With several global heritage and religious sites, modern attractions, and leisure destinations, over 50 million tourists visit the region every year. The MENA region has received a growing inflow of tourists driving growth in attractions and destinations.
However, some key challenges still hinder the region from capitalising on the industry’s full potential, especially with the changing demographics, infrastructure, weather conditions, and technology developments.
