Several high-level meetings were also held with prominent figures in the regional and global tourism sector, including Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, and His Excellency,  Thoriq Ibrahim, Minister of Tourism and Environment of the Republic of Maldives. All these meetings discussed bilateral cooperation and means of enhancing prospects for strategic partnerships.

High-level visits to the Qatar pavilion, including,  Fahd Hamidaddin CEO of Saudi Tourism Authority and His Excellency Saeed bin Ali Al Hajri as Consul-General of the State of Qatar in Dubai, underscored the importance of regional collaboration and Qatar’s leadership in sustainable tourism. The pavilion was also recognised with the Sustainability award by ATM for its innovative design, which incorporated eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient fittings, and smart digital technologies, reflecting Qatar’s commitment to responsible tourism development.
