Dubai
welcomed its first ever mega
familiarisation trip from Malaysia, of-
fering select participants an opportunity
to get a first-hand experience of the
remarkable city.
Jointly hosted by Dubai’s Department

More than 60 frontline agents from
both top-tier business events and leisure
operators were selected to join the four-
day itinerary showcasing what Dubai
has to offer as a world-class business
and leisure destination.
Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Tourism,
said, “Malaysia is one of our key source
markets in the Far East region, thanks
to the close linkages between Malaysia
and the United Arab Emirates. In 2014,
46,000 Malaysians visited Dubai, and we
hope to welcome many more in the years
to come. The frontline agents, who are
the primary contact points for Malaysian
travellers had the chance to see Dubai
in person this week and shared their
unforgettable experiences with their
customers once they return home.”
Alongside the familiarisation tour, an
incentive campaign will be launched to
encourage the participating agents to
showcase Dubai to customers. Spon-
sored by Dubai Tourism and Emirates
Airline, two trips to Dubai will be given
away to two winners who prove to be
the best performers in terms of Dubai
packages sold. To encourage more
participants to share their Dubai travel
experiences, those agents who earn the
highest number of likes on their Dubai
social media posts will also be awarded
prizes.
