Bahrain showcases Mice, tourism credentials at key forum

MANAMA, January 9, 2018

The recent Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (Gopio) convention, held at the Gulf Hotel in Bahrain, served as the perfect platform for the kingdon's tourism ministry to showcase its diversity in an extensive destination promotion and awareness push.

More than 400 delegates from 40 countries attended the event, which opened on January 6 and concluded today (January 9).  It was hosted by the world body Gopio and held for the first time in the Middle East.

Over the four-day event, several topics were discussed, some of which included ‘India 2030: An Economic Powerhouse’, ‘Opportunities for Business and Investment in India’, ‘India: The Healthcare Destination’ – ‘India Healthcare Challenges & Opportunities’, ‘Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Start-Up India’, ‘Empowering Women Globally’, ‘Rehabilitation of Returning NRIs’.

Among the participants at the convention was chief executive officer of Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, Shaikh Khaled bin Humood Al Khalifa, who said: “We are proud to participate in the first Gopio conference which is being held in the Middle East for the first time and which will serve to promote Bahrain in India, further strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries. Through our representative office in India, we have been able to successfully promote Bahrain as well as collaborate with Indian travel agencies to create inbound packages into the kingdom.”

“We also look forward to attracting further investments and increasing the influx of tourism which will contribute to the growth and development of this sector as well as to the national economy,” he added.

Shaikh Khaled’s participation and support comes in line with the BTEA’s overall strategy that aims to develop and strengthen the tourism sector under the slogan of ‘Ours. Yours.’, and contribute towards the kingdom's economy and the 2030 Economic Vision. - TradeArabia News Service
