Subject: Support for the United Arab Emirates’ Bid to Host the 2023 World Trade Organization's Ministerial Conference
Dear Members of the General Council,
On behalf of the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau, we would like to express our full support to United Arab Emirates’ bid to host the 2023 World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference in Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi’s commitment to excellence is world renowned, and you will find that the whole city will be behind the conference, with a multi-disciplinary ‘Team Abu Dhabi’ approach, as well as receiving strong governmental support at the highest level.
Key decision-making factors are accessibility, safety, affordability, support, strong local association membership and an attractive destination – and we believe Abu Dhabi qualifies in every aspect. We have excellent air links and Etihad Airways – our national carrier – already serves more than 62 destinations worldwide. Our venues have cutting edge technology; we have a state-of-the-art conference and exhibition centers, outstanding hotels of all categories and our destination – hallmarked by a dedication to hospitality and service – is welcoming and safe.
And over the past few years, Abu Dhabi has built up a successful track record for hosting international meetings and conferences. I wish to assure you of our total support in staging your conference in our home and am confident of delivering the warmest of Arabian hospitality. You can be certain that should the event be awarded to Abu Dhabi, the Department of Culture and Tourism and the Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau will be fully supportive.
Yours Sincerely,
Saleh Mohammed Algeziry Director General Tourism
