A message from our General Manager
Welcome to a new era of MICE in Arabia
It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you a brand-new vision of MICE services in Arabia. There has always been significant reverence for the Gulf Dunes brand within our industry, and the new look continues to celebrate its history as a significant contributor to the development of the MICE industry in UAE and Oman, while also highlighting its evolution.
In fact, the changes to the brand are more than just visual. Our CEO, Peter Payet, with whom I have previously built many successful MICE brands during our rich and storied careers, appointed me as General Manager in order to push Gulf Dunes to new heights. In this regard, we have already made significant additions to our capabilities, which are alluded to in our new logo. While we continue to remain one of the largest MICE-DMCs in the region, our expansion will propel us as leaders across all MICE-related activities, including professionally organized conferences.
We are truly excited about what we have in store and I highly recommend watching this space for more updates.
