“Dubai is a global hub of innovation with the ongoing development of technology at the centre of our strategy. Disruptive technologies are creating new opportunities for our industry while re-engineering the marketplace and Dubai is at the forefront of capitalising on these emerging technologies to optimise travellers’ journey,” states Issam Kazim, CEO, Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM).

“We will continue our focus on harnessing the power of data to redefine the customer journey while strengthening developments of advanced technology solutions as we invest in entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability that sets a new benchmark for global travel,” he adds.
