Royal Caribbean International’s ‘Brilliance of the Seas’ made her maiden docking into Dubai on Monday, marking the company’s official entry into the Middle East.

At a ceremony aboard the vessel, Mr. Khalid A bin Sulayem, Director General of Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) which operates the Dubai Cruise Terminal, welcomed the cruise ship and assured of assistance to the Royal Caribbean International in making this initiative productive.
In the presence of senior immigration, police, customs and DTCM officials, he presented a memento to the RCI’s top management.

The luxury liner will be making seven-night round-trip sailings to Muscat, Fujairah, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain from her home port of Dubai over the next four months, as Royal Caribbean International sets its sights on the region’s promising cruise market.

Brilliance of the Seas is one of the most elegant cruise ships in the world and boasts one of the highest space-per-guest ratios in the industry. It will add more than 32,000 guests in her first four-month season to the region’s burgeoning cruise sector – which is expected to grow 30 percent this year according to Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM).

The Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) is the Official Tourism Partner for the fifth edition of the Dunlop 24 Hours Dubai Motor Racing Event to be held from January 14 to 16 at Dubai Autodrome.

The event is being held under the patronage of Dubai Crown Prince His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

This was announced by Mr. Talal Al Suwaidi, Head of Region India, Middle East and Southern/Eastern Africa at DTCM’s Overseas Promotions and Inward Missions Department, at a Press conference held at the Dubai Autodrome Media Centre on January 13.

He said this was the first time DTCM was associating itself with the annual event.

The event will see the world’s second largest line-up of cars on grid with many teams and families coming across from Europe to Dubai top take part and support in the race.

DTCM will display a Heritage Village at the venue to highlight the Emirati heritage and culture and the transformation of Dubai into an international business and tourism hub.

Eighty teams, five hundred drivers from 26 countries and over a thousand team crew members will participate.

The race marks the start of the international road racing 2010 season and has grown in stature to become one of the biggest 24 hour races of its kind.

Dubai has emerged as the sporting capital of the Middle East with state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities available for almost every sport, be it football, tennis, cricket, rugby or horse racing.

Sporting events are a major contributor to tourism economy in the emirate and we see its share going up in the coming years.
