The untapped potential of Arab aviation and tourism sectors and the way forward amid the current political and economic climate as well as Bahrain's travel and tourism experience will be the focus of an upcoming conference in Bahrain.

 

The fifth edition of Arab Aviation and Media Summit (AAMS) 2015 will take place on December 7 and 8, which will be inaugurated by Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed, Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications.

 

The summit is a joint industry initiative by leading organisations committed to improving the state of aviation and tourism sectors in the Arab world.

 

It will also see industry experts debating and discussing the growing significance of private sector contribution and opening up the sector to increased foreign investments.

 

“The Arab world’s aviation and tourism sectors are changing rapidly and this platform has enabled industry experts to come together to discuss and debate the significant opportunities and challenges faced by the sector. We highly encourage such discussions and are proud to be the host to this year’s Arab Aviation and Media Summit,” said Mohammed.

 

Mohamed Yousif Al Binfalah, chief executive officer, Bahrain Airport Company, said: “This year, Bahrain will host eminent industry leaders who will discuss how the sector is well placed for strong and consistent growth which will drive investment, job creation and bilateral trade. We are happy to welcome all the participants and look forward to meeting them in Bahrain.”

 

Described as the ‘voice of the industry’, the summit is the largest assembly of Arab media together with top executives from the aviation and tourism industry. 

 

It takes place in a different Arab city every year drawing attention to the host city travel and tourism experience as well as facilitating for a large audience of governments, decision makers and media to share, learn and exchange. - TradeArabia News Service
