The Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau – a dedicated division of Abu Dhabi Tourism &aamp; Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) - has launched an exclusive range of hospitality packages for the UAE capital's highly anticipated Volvo Ocean Race Abu Dhabi Stopover running 12 December 2014 to 3 January 2015.
With prices starting from AED600 (US $164) per day, and covering the January 2 in-port race and January 3 race restart, VIP corporate guests will experience world-class hospitality, Arabian style, through the luxury race week packages, which include front-row access to yachts, behind-the-scenes boatyard tours, exclusive crew meet-and-greets, race day expert analysis and post-race team appearances.
Persuading international visitors to choose Abu Dhabi as their year-end winter holiday and encouraging MICE and business travellers to attend are key priorities for the Abu Dhabi Stopover organisers.
Abu Dhabi is gearing up to host the race with a festival of watersports, marine heritage promotions and world-class entertainment. Over 200,000 local and international visitors are expected to visit over the year-end and New Year period.
Our emirate's ambient winter climate, when temperatures average around 21 to 26 degrees celsius, over 400 kilometres of coastline, blue-flag beaches, state-of-the-art marinas, beautiful natural islands and warm, clean waters make Abu Dhabi a compelling watersports destination, said Mubarak Al Shamisi, Director, Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau. Our race week hospitality packages have been designed specifically with corporate travellers and MICE organisers in mind and give them a great alternative to year-end and New Year programmes.
