      Barbados to Host 41st Caribbean Travel Marketplace in May

      by

      The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) has announced that Barbados will host the 41st edition of Caribbean Travel Marketplace at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre in Bridgetown from May 9-11, 2023.
      Nicola Madden-Greig, CHTA president, announced that the trade association’s largest annual event, which convenes buyers and sellers of the region’s tourism products and services, will be staged in Barbados for the first time in the organization’s history. “CHTA has a very strong relationship with both public and private sector stakeholders in Barbados, and as we position the region’s top earner for robust growth this year, we are delighted to lock arms with our Bajan partners to drive business to the Caribbean,” she said.
      Ian Gooding-Edghill, Barbados’ minister of tourism and international transport, said the Barbados tourism industry was undergoing a major renaissance in the post-COVID environment, and the timing could not be better to welcome Caribbean Travel Marketplace to local soil. He believes the meeting aligns with Barbados’ value offerings, which appeal to the key MICE market, among others.
      This year’s event will build on the success of last fall’s edition, which was held in Puerto Rico. A highlight of the Puerto Rico meeting was the launch of the first “Caribbean Travel Forum & Awards,” the second edition of which will be held in Barbados on May 9, 2023, ahead of the official opening ceremony of Caribbean Travel Marketplace. The forum will once again focus on the business of tourism, while business appointments will be held on May 10-11.
      “Our private sector partners, together with the BTMI and the ministry of tourism and transport, are keen to showcase Barbados’ exceptional product and experiences and we cannot wait to welcome you to our island home,” said Renée Coppin, chairman of the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association.ADVERTISEMENTMeanwhile, Madden-Greig noted that this year’s event will also provide access to the Eastern Caribbean for buyers and tour operators as the region places a strong focus on the revival of multi-destination travel.
      Registration details to be announced soon.

Dubai’s diverse tourism attractions and hospitality offerings, combined with its emergence as a leading venue for global events and a magnet for talent and enterprise will continue to reinforce its status as a favourite among global travellers over the next decade. Dubai’s tourism, hospitality and events sectors have been at the forefront of a rebound and acceleration of global growth in these sectors over the last two years and will continue to play a key role in shaping their evolution in the future.”
      His Excellency, Helal Saeed Almarri, Director General, Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), said: “Being named the No.1 global destination for a second consecutive year reflects the significant work undertaken by the city’s many stakeholders, our strong public private partnership model, and Dubai’s global network of partners – all of which are aligned towards the guiding vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to make Dubai the city of the future and the world’s best destination to visit, live and work.
      “Tourism is a central pillar of Dubai’s economic growth and diversification, and the continual investment in our product offering, a frictionless and superlative guest experience and the development of the sector and those working in it, will not only serve to further accelerate industry growth but critically, will have a significant multiplier impact on many other elements of Dubai’s economic landscape and global appeal to businesses and talent.ADVERTISEMENT“We also see this sector’s growth providing many opportunities for national talents to enter the industry and we will continue to provide an educational and training framework for their development as well as the wider industry’s continued advancement,” His Excellency Helal Almarri added.
      The top Tripadvisor award is the latest addition to a series of international accolades bestowed on Dubai, demonstrating the city’s enduring appeal as a multifaceted destination. With more than 13,000 restaurants and cafes spread across the city, offering diverse cuisines for foodies and families, Dubai continued to win international recognition as a global gastronomy hub including the launch of the MICHELIN Guide Dubai and the arrival of renowned fine-dining restaurant critique guide Gault&Millau in 2022.

      “Retaining our position as the No. 1 destination in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards is just reward for the efforts to continuously innovate and adapt to the evolving nature of travel, build out exceptional guest experiences at every touchpoint and effectively tailor Dubai’s offering for different needs and segments. As a city that is always on the move, Dubai’s charm is its unique ability to surprise and delight both new and repeat visitors with its ever growing diverse offering while keeping its authenticity and traditions intact. We have successfully taken these messages to the world by bringing the destination to life through a series of global campaigns with the support of over 3,000 partners worldwide, providing international audiences an exciting insight into the city’s most iconic landmarks such as the Museum of the Future and unique hidden locations. Our focus for 2023 and beyond will be to drive and support growth through this mosaic of experiences, across all our tourism pillars from entertainment to shopping and cultural to culinary experiences.”
      As one of the most sought-after cities for international travel, business and events, Dubai’s significant resurgence throughout 2022 was further spurred by Expo 2020 Dubai with the hugely successful global event attracting over 24 million visits by the time it concluded on 31 March 2022. In addition, Dubai’s annual calendar of festivals, leisure, sporting and business events including the Dubai Shopping Festival, Dubai Food Festival, Gulfood, the Dubai World Cup, World Government Summit, GITEX Technology Week, Dubai Desert Classic, Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship, Dubai International Boat Show and the Arabian Travel Market, to name a few, spurred a significant growth in tourism.

      At last year’s World Travel Awards Dubai was acclaimed the World’s Leading Business Travel Destination 2022 and at the awards Middle East Ceremony the destination walked off with Middle East’s Leading Destination and Middle East’s Leading City Destination.
      As it keeps pace with the rapidly evolving global tourism landscape Dubai is constantly introducing regulatory, infrastructure and travel initiatives to attract even more visitors from around the world. Dubai’s tourism momentum has continued to quicken, thanks also to the support extended by both domestic and international partners in showcasing the city as a destination that is safe, open and accessible. According to the latest data published by Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism, Dubai welcomed 12.82 million international overnight visitors between January and November 2022, which surpasses the 6.02 million tourists that Dubai attracted for the corresponding period in 2021. During this 11-month period, 794 hotel establishments with over 145,098 rooms also opened their doors to guests, delivering strong occupancy levels of 73 per cent, which is among the highest occupancy rates internationally.

      Abu Dhabi Bestows Honorary Green Industries Eco-Label Upon Etihad Airways

      by

      The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) has granted Etihad Airways an honorary Green Industries Environmental Label for outstanding environmental performance. The organisation was recognised for finding innovative pollution control solutions and applying best environmental practices, which led to an increase in environmental compliance levels across the airline.
      The Agency awarded the label during a ceremony held on the sideline of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week attended by Engineer Faisal Ali Al Hammadi, Acting Executive Director of Environment Quality Sector at EAD and Mariam Al Qubaisi Head of Sustainability and Business Excellence from Etihad Airways.

      The Green Industries innovative programme, which was launched in June 2022, is customised based on best international practices in the field of eco-labelling while factoring in the nature of Abu Dhabi’s industrial sector. The programme aims to build joint partnerships and to acknowledge the contributions of industrial facilities in the field of environmental protection.
      ADVERTISEMENTFacilities receive the label after being recognised for their environmentally friendly performance through an extensive assessment of facility operations and initiatives ensuring best implementation of best environmental practices to ensure protection and sustainable development of the environment.

      Engineer Faisal Al Hammadi, on the occasion, said: “It is extremely gratifying to witness the interest of organisations as large as Etihad Airways in receiving the Green Industries Environmental labelling programme especially within six months of the programme’s launch. It reveals the interest of national organisations in Abu Dhabi in contributing to the emirate’s larger vision of placing the conservation of the environment as a high-ranking priority to enhance the quality of life. After stringent review of the airline’s facilities, we saw full compliance in pollution control, the effective management of resources, innovative green solutions, and sustainable tools in operations, which is why we have awarded them the honorary Green Industries environmental label.”

      Mariam Al Qubaisi, Head of Sustainability and Business Excellence, Etihad Airways said: “As the national airline of the UAE, Etihad is determined to lend its full weight to Abu Dhabi’s strategic vision for sustainable development, through research and implementation of all possible solutions to reduce its carbon footprint. The Green Industries Eco-Label is recognition of Etihad’s contribution to sustainability and The Environment Agency’s successful ability to foster the best environmental practices within Abu Dhabi.”

      There are four major categories that need to be satisfied for an organisation to receive a Green Industries environmental label. These are: the demand-side management of resources, which considers the optimal use of energy and preservation of resources; plus pollution reduction from primary and secondary operations. The third category requires an impeccable record of compliance with EAD requirements, and the fourth assessment category distinguishes new approaches to environmental conservation, while promoting economic growth, and enhancing the quality of life for Abu Dhabi residents.

      by

      NEOM has revealed its next hotel as YOTEL, the airport sleeper brand turned city-centre fuss-free hotel room provider. The YOTEL will be located in the giga-site’s OXAGON project, envisioned as the business and logisitical hub of the super-city.The 300-key hotel will open in 2025, which means, as current plans stand, it will be the first hotel to open at OXAGON. According to YOTEL’s development team, it costs around US$148,000 per key to build a Yotel. This would mean the OXAGON hotel would cost around US$44 million to build.
      Hotel facilitiesOriginally conceived as a pit-stop airport brand for layovers, that original YOTEL concept has since become YOTEL Air. There is also YOTEL Pad for longer stays and the newer YOTEL brand, which is what will be at NEOM.
      A YOTEL room is typically 30 sq m and are usually more environmentally friendly than larger, more amenity-packed properties.
      Almost half of YOTEL’s guests are are between 30 to 49, while 28 percent are 50 to 64. A combined 44 percent of those staying in YOTELS do so for business or a combination of business and leisure.
      “OXAGON’s ambition to house hospitality assets where innovative design, sustainability and technologies converge, echoes our core values at YOTEL,” said Hubert Viriot, CEO of Yotel. “We understand that the non-stop traveller craves destinations that won’t slow them down, and OXAGON promises to be a unique destination where new tech-enabled hospitality experiences can be live-tested. It is an honour to be one of the first hotels to open within a city redefining industries through sustainable innovation.”ADVERTISEMENTThe hotel’s location is at the heart of the integrated live-work-play Research and Innovation (R&I) district of OXAGON with a dedicated R&I campus.
      “OXAGON’s hotel strategy is built around several pillars including technology, which is key for integration within a wider smart-city infrastructure,” said Vishal Wanchoo, CEO of OXAGON. “After a competitive selection process, YOTEL was the clear hotel brand of choice for the district, given our shared ambitions to focus on people-centric design, circularity and digital advancements.”
      YOTEL OXAGON made for the modern age
      “YOTEL’s decision to open their property in NEOM’s OXAGON is a powerful endorsement of our ambition to redefine how people travel, stay and live. When complete, it will serve as the ideal home for modern travellers in search of thoughtfully curated and designed spaces, and we look forward to welcoming them,” added Chris Newman, executive director, Hotel Development at NEOM.

      Nobu Dubai is about to celebrate its 15th year in Dubai in an iconic-new space

      by

      One of Dubai’s longest-standing Japanese restaurants is reopening in a stunning new rooftop location.
      After 14 years of residence in The Avenues at Atlantis, The Palm, Nobu Dubai is about to celebrate its 15th year in Dubai in an iconic-new space within the crown of the destination resort.Taking the space formally home to The Royal Bridge Suite, the 22nd floor has been completely transformed to house a brand-new Nobu Dubai, complete with an updated menu, a Nobu Dubai lounge and bar, and an expansive terrace offering incredible views over the Palm Island and Arabian Gulf.
      Diners looking to experience the celebrity-approved Nobu Dubai can reserve a table from Monday, January 23.Upon arrival, you will need to take a right at the main entrance to take a private elevator up to the 22nd floor, before being greeted by the echoing sounds of the chefs shouting in true Nobu fashion.

      The first thing you notice is the view. The view is unparalleled of the Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai Marina skyline. You can also see the Burj Al Arab and the Burj Khalifa on a clear day.ADVERTISEMENTNobu Matsuhisa sat down with Time Out Dubai to chat about the new venue. He said: “It is a new space for us and we are settling in. I really love this location. It is really taking Nobu Dubai to the next level. We love having such a beautiful view and I think this view is the Dubai view that any restaurant hopes to have. This was my dream location and honestly speaking, my dream came true. With the terrace and private dining rooms, a bar and a lounge area, it gives us fantastic new opportunities. We will be doing very interesting things here soon, once we settle in properly.”
      The space itself is the largest and most luxurious Nobu in the world. As you enter Nobu Dubai you come across the central Nobu bar and lounge, where diners can enjoy an array of pre-dinner bevvies and small bites set to the soundtrack of two resident DJs.
      Then there’s the option for a little more privacy with one of six private dining rooms featuring floor-to-ceiling vistas over the Arabian Gulf and will seat up to two to twelve guests per room.
      Guests can choose to sit at one of five dining areas, including the main dining room, an exclusive 13-seat sushi bar or within a VIP booth with front-row seats to the bustling kitchen. The new Nobu Dubai also features an expansive Palm terrace, featuring a bar and lounge area.

      With the new venue comes a reimagined menu, which features a variety of new dishes from land and sea. Signature dishes include the chu toro kinome, a seared bluefin tuna topped with imperial caviar which is then carefully placed in an Asian peppermint leaf with a sweet miso sauce.
      There’s also the dover sole sesame, a pan-seared whole Dover sole coupled with Japanese mint and shiso sesame soy sauce. Another new must-try dish includes the salmon new style roll, a maki roll seen at many Nobu’s around the world, which is filled with truffle baby spinach salad and topped with fresh salmon sashimi with ginger, garlic, and chives, lightly seared with hot olive and sesame oil.
      The celebrity chef added: “We have all the signature dishes and then some. Some ingredients are locally sourced but have the same flavour as other Nobu’s around the world. Dubai has some special dishes created exclusively. I am always looking for something new. I really like to use local products as much as possible.
      I like to spend time in Dubai. The melting pot is such an inspiration to me. The people and the scenes here always inspire me to create new dishes
      As for Matsuhisa’s favourite dish on the menu? Well, his famous black cod. He said: “The Nobu black cod is like my first-born child. When people talk about my food, they always talk about the black cod.”
      It’s always been one of the most ordered, most eaten dishes in Dubai and Nobu does a fantastic job at executing it. Matsuhisa along with the help of Robert DeNiro, made this simple piece of fish, famous globally. Nobu’s is the OG of black cods, so don’t miss it.
      Nobu opens to the public today, Monday, January 23 2023 from 7pm, Atlantis The Palm Dubai, Palm Jumeirah (04 426 2626).
