It's also an opportunity for us to showcase our corporate products and services to the right audience both in the regional and international travel industry. Dnata is a one-stop-shop for all travel requirements - we were one of the first travel companies to set up in Dubai, we have now established our presence in other parts of the region such as Kuwait, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and soon in Oman and Qatar, and we feel it’s important to show our support to the industry by supporting the show.”
