The United Arab Emirates celebrated its 40th National Day anniversary by hosting a cocktail event along with Dubai Tourism and Emirates Airways at Sydney’s Shangri-la Hotel last night. The event was attended by key wholesalers, travel agents and cruise partners that now service the Dubai market. UAE’s National Day, akin to our Australia Day, is all about getting people together to celebrate unity, culture and heritage. “It was our way of thanking our many supporters who’ve contributed to the growth we’re currently experiencing,” said Veronica Rainbird, Senior Manager Dubai Tourism. She said business from Australia to Dubai is up an incredible 35% in the past 3 months, and year-to-date up 16% on 12 months ago. Guests attending the event were entertained by music from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
