Being a part of ICCA ensures that Safarak Travel and Tourism stays up-to-date with all the latest developments in the events industry, engages with the entire MICE ecosystem and benefits from insights offered by industry leaders across different destinations, industry suppliers or airlines. The association also provides valuable industry education through its programmes, events, and annual congress.
As Safarak Travel and Tourism embarks on this new chapter with ICCA, the destination management company looks forward to contributing to the growth and success of the international meetings industry, while simultaneously enhancing Ras Al Khaimah’s position on the global MICE map.
