Dubai to host Wurth Congress 2003

The Dubai Convention Bureau (DCB) in its initiative to promote the emirate's MICE sector will bring in the annual Wurth Congress, in September 2003 (6th Sep-16th Sep) to the emirate.

The Wurth Congress 2003, which takes place in Jumeirah Beach, will attract more than 1,200 delegates form 82 countries.

Wurth is a German based company dealing in tools. The delegates will be visiting the emirate in two groups. The first group will be in the emirate between 6th to 10th September and the other one will be from 11th to 16th September.

In charge of the DCB, Awadh Al Seghayer who met the organisers of the event appeared confident and upbeat about the department's latest initiative. "This is a big leap forward for Dubai in further cementing ties with Germany. We are confident that this event will help in increasing awareness of Dubai's attractions as a top class destination among the world's MICE travelers," said Mr. Al Seghayer.

He noted that such meetings would do wonders for Dubai's MICE industry, which is on the threshold of a boom. "These kinds of events will open doors for other major organizations all over the world to opt Dubai as their host venue for meetings and conferences," said Mr. Al Seghyer.

He noted that the huge number of delegates attending the Congress is an indication about the strength of the company. "The fact that more than 1,200 officials from 82 countries will be present in the emirate to attend the meeting, speaks about the credentials of the company in Germany as well as internationally," said Mr. Al Seghayer.

Commenting on Dubai's MICE industry, Mr. Al Seghayer stated that the emirate is serious in its commitment to take this sector to new heights: "Dubai fits neatly into the MICE travel organisers' ideal profile of 'somewhere new and different' as it combines exotic experiences and excitement with professional state-of-the art infrastructure and top quality hotels".
