The panel discussion will give each one the opportunity to outline their support and plans to optimise prospects for the emirate’s tourism industry in 2015, followed by an open question & answer session from a gathering of travel industry representatives.
The debate will be held at 11am on February 16 at the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel & Villas on Saadiyat Island, and is one of a number of activities organised by TCA Abu Dhabi to share plans and market priorities for 2015, part of the annual get-together of the authority’s 10 overseas offices.

"The overseas summit is a must attend industry event to ensure we all work together to excel in an increasingly challenging global tourism environment," he added.
