Abu Dhabi: The 2016 edition of the Meet China forum - organised by
npimedia in collaboration with Highway Tourism - is underway in Abu
Dhabi. The only United Arab Emirates B2B event focused on the world
number one outbound market, Meet China has brought a 75-strong group of
Chinese travel buyers to meet with leading tourism suppliers including
top hoteliers, local DMCs, leisure attractions and retail brands from
Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah. The event builds
on the success of tourist groups arriving from China that were
responsible for almost two million guest nights in 2015. Meet China also
highlights the importance of the UAE's fastest growing tourism source
market, reinforced by the government's announcement on September 4 that a
new visa-on-arrival scheme will be introduced for Chinese tourists
visiting the country. Visiting Chinese participants include members of
some of China's leading outbound tour operators with responsibility for
leisure as well as meetings and events. The combined value of their
current business placement to the UAE is in excess of US$30 million and
each sector intends to grow this considerably in coming years.
