These include Dubai’s strategic location between the East and West, convenient air connections, strong transport and communication infrastructure, world-class hotels, and high levels of security and safety, in addition to its proven track record in organizing large international conferences.”
He added: “Hosting this event is a new milestone for Dubai and will serve to enhance our city’s global reputation further. Dubai won the bid thanks to the combined efforts of a number of government entities, with support from the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing, Emirates Airlines and other local partners, reinforcing Dubai's position and reputation as a leading global destination for hosting business events. We are confident that 69th FIABCI World Congress will reflect Dubai's reputation in this field.”

His astute business acumen has developed Dubai into a global city. The convention will attract many investors and industry stakeholders from around the world. We would like to thank our partners, Dubai Land Department and the Dubai Real Estate Institute for their many contributions, and for all the cooperation they have extended to make this a successful event that surpasses all expectations. Speaking on the facilities and professionalism in Dubai, Farook Mahmood stated that it is on par with the best in the world. I have attended and organized conventions all over the world to promote regional trade and commerce. Dubai is among the most potential markets I have seen. I believe this city has a great future as a business hub in West Asia that the world just cannot transact with.
