MIDDLE EAST - Dubai will host the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) International Destination Expo (IDE) in April 2013.
The show comes as part of a link-up with Dubai's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) and ASTA.
ASTA estimates between 500 and 700 travel agents will attend the show in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
"The prestige of hosting ASTA's IDE next year is a great honour and recognised throughout the tourism and convention industries worldwide,” said DTCM executive director of business tourism Hamad M. Bin Mejren.
"We can expect to see continued growth of North American tourism traffic in 2013 and beyond as these ASTA agents serve as new ambassadors for Dubai, spreading their enthusiasm to new clients from around the world.”
A Dubai trade show will meet the growing demands of the new UAE green law.
