He said: ‘ The air connections between Dubai and other destinations have been growing fast to meet the unbridled demand. The massive expansion of Dubai’s iconic international airport and fleet expansion by the Dubai’s international airliner, Emirates, clearly reflects the reality of air service development and tourism growth being complimentary to each other.’
He said telecommunications, transport, travel and freight sector succeeded in enhancing its lead position as the largest contributor to the emirate’s GDP, growing by 19.3 per cent to AED16.24 billion in 2004.

The forum looked how to create the air links that are needed to support your tourism development targets and how can tourism organisations work effectively with airports and airlines.
