Maurice Flanagan CBE<br />
Executive Vice Chairman, Emirates Airline AND Group<br />
It is 30 years ago that I came to Dubai, and it has been my privilege and<br />
pleasure to witness, at first hand, the transformation that has taken place<br />
here and in the region. I have had some exciting moments during my<br />
lifetime, but I can honestly say that being a part of the Dubai adventure<br />
has been an experience for me that nothing else equals.<br />
Now it is the fulfillment of a long-held dream of my own to be able to<br />
play a part in welcoming so many of you to Dubai. This <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Travel</strong><br />
and <strong>Tourism</strong> <strong>Summit</strong> combines the best of both professional and personal<br />
satisfactions. Professionally, you will all play your part in writing the next<br />
chapter of travel and tourism’s long history. And personally, you will be<br />
able to see why I have been so enthusiastic about Dubai and about what<br />
Emirates has done to help realise the Dubai vision.<br />
I look forward to the pleasure of your company over the coming days.<br />
