This week, a promotional roadshow organised by the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) and Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, raised the bar for trade events in Australia by bringing ‘gold leaf-infused’ welcome drinks, a spectacular chocolate model of the awesome Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and unique interactive ways to learn about the capital of the UAE as a potential destination.
The ‘Discover Abu Dhabi’ Roadshow kicked off in Brisbane on Monday night and visited Melbourne on Tuesday, with the Sydney event on Wednesday.  All events were sell outs with more than 620 travel agents attending over the course of the roadshow tour.

Mubarak Al Nuaimi, Director of Promotion & Overseas Offices at DCT Abu Dhabi said: “Our aim for the Discover Abu Dhabi Roadshow was to do things differently.  Travel agents attend these types of events each week so we had to work hard to stand out, and I think we really did that with our unique presentation.” 

Guests were able to meet with key stakeholders from Abu Dhabi, hearing about new developments such as the new Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi theme park, the stunning new Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort and the Serdal Pearl Diving Experience. Agents also heard about the driving experience around Yas Marina Circuit, henna paintings and the emirate’s mouth-watering food options.  
Phillip Boniface from Helloworld Travel Carlingford said: “I’d like to thank the organisers for a very interesting, informative and enjoyable evening showcasing beautiful Abu Dhabi.  It was a great evening and venue, with food and beverages and generous prizes.”
