Nakheel to showcase Dubai at World Travel Market, London

Senior officials from Nakheel, promoters of Dubai's most prestigious real estate projects, have confirmed they are to participate at this years World Travel Market, scheduled to be held in London from 8th November until 11th November 2004.

Wahid Attalla, Nakheel's Executive Director, Commercial and Operations, said "The World Travel Market (WTM) is one of the world's largest international travel fairs, and an apt forum for promoting Dubai as one of the world's most memorable destinations. Nakheel will join the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) in showcasing our city to international media, travel trade, airlines, tourist organisations, governments and other significant audiences who will assemble at this event," he stated.

While our key objective is to raise brand awareness of Dubai, we will also be promoting our concept of destinations within a destination. The Nakheel stand – which is the largest in the DTCM umbrella – will house replicas and models of their key projects. These will include The World – a cluster of 300 man made islands, Discovery Gardens – a pre-designed complex comprising of six themed communities styled in a variety of garden experiences and Lost City – a residential complex that captures the essence of ancient and old themed houses from the fertile crescent and North Africa to Indian subcontinents.

Another highlight will be Nakheel’s third Palm island – The Palm Deira, which will be officially launched later this week in time for visitors to be able to get info and an idea of this new icon in Dubai. Attalla said, that more details of promoting this internationally renowned island would be made available shortly. This exciting new project is on a scale that’s never been attempted before. Planned at 80square km, its the size of greater London.

“Dubai is a very contemporary city, a major regional centre for trade, tourism and business, and one of the world’s perfect models for multi cultural living. We are also blessed with visionary governance, tax free benefits, modern infrastructure and 365 days of sunshine. Living in Dubai or visiting the city for a holiday reflects all these advantages. We believe that this combination will be of great interest to several people attending the World Travel Market," Attalla stated.
