The Bureau has overhauled its Advantage Abu Dhabi initiative for the corporate meetings and incentive travel segments with 13 structured offerings designed to enhance the emirate’s appeal amongst sector-specific bookers.
Wide-ranging incentives now include: welcome dinners at host hotels, city tours, evening functions Emirati-style, ‘Speedster Specials’ at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, desert safaris and dune dinners, full day meetings packages, golf rounds on award-winning courses, tours of Abu Dhabi’s award-winning Falcon Hospital, tours of the emirate’s heritage heartland of Al Ain and its UNESCO inscripted sites, VIP tours of the Yas Marina Circuit; entrance to the Yas Waterworld waterpark; cultural education sessions and event logo development.
To qualify for any of a selection of the new incentives, organisers must hold an event in Abu Dhabi that has a minimum of 50 paid room nights during this year or next.
The number of incentives on offer for a single event is on a sliding scale commensurate with the number of paid room nights booked. Bookings of 50-500 room nights qualify for a single incentive; 501-1,000 room nights book can earn two incentives; 1,001-1,500 room nights qualify for three incentives and bookings of 1,501 or more qualify for a tailored group offering.
In addition, organisers will receive an Abu Dhabi Welcome Pack for all their delegates, pre-event marketing support and free, impartial bureau advice.
Organisers wishing to apply for the incentives should do so at least 30 days before their event begins with the offer applying only to new bookings.
