The Dubai Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing has issued official guidelines on how business events can take place safely during COVID-19 pandemic. While the Emirate reopened to international visitors in July, the event sector has been in status quo as authorities examine how gatherings can take place safely.
Now, with meetings taking place from September 15 and international meetings returning to the city from October 1 , the guidelines focus on protecting the health and safety of all participants, including delegates and staff, while ensuring they can host and experience impactful meetings that meet the needs of all stakeholders involved.
According to the Dubai Department of Tourism, the key measures venues and organisers must implement include social distancing, temperature checks, the safe dispensation of food and regular sanitation of facilities at the venue.
Dubai is seen as the safest location to host international exhibitions and conferences in the coming months, while trade fairs will play a critical role in a post-COVID-19 ‘restart’.
The tourism and hospitality sectors in Dubai are benefiting from a rapid rebound driven by a multi-phase roadmap being executed by the Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing.
Prominent players in the industry have experienced a surge of interest from across the world since the reopening of the city to international tourists on July 7th.
