<strong>UITT</strong> Exhibitor Feedback<br />
Mohammed Essa Al Shaikh, Head of Region, Dubai Department of Tourism and<br />
Commerce Marketing<br />
“Ukrainian tourist numbers to Dubai have been increasing tremendously, in 2010 we<br />
had around 42,000 tourists and in 2012 we had 70,000. Being part of <strong>UITT</strong> allows our<br />
destination management companies (DMC’s) and hoteliers to promote their products<br />
and services. (.) For the past 7 years <strong>UITT</strong> has been doing a great job in assisting our<br />
promotion and I hope that it will continue for the years to come.”<br />
Karen Confait, Manager, Seychelles Tourism Board<br />
“It is the first time that we have participated and as Ukraine’s main travel fair it is a<br />
good platform; I think it is important to show our presence and create some brand<br />
awareness here. (.) We have two DMCs and one hotel with us; the potential clients are<br />
here and we have had quite a few visitors to our stand.”<br />
Tomaš Jackevič, Chief Specialist of Target Markets Division, Republic of Lithuania State<br />
Department of Tourism<br />
“The Ukraine market for us is very important, we’ve had over 16 million tourists who<br />
have come from here, so it’s a huge market for Lithuania. This year we are at <strong>UITT</strong> for<br />
the first time and I think that being here will have a big influence for the future amount<br />
of tourists from Ukraine to Lithuania.”<br />

<strong>UITT</strong> Exhibitor Feedback<br />
Josep M Perramon, Director of East Europe Countries, Government of Catalonia<br />
“Ukrainian people love to travel to Catalonia and we expected 60,000 Ukraine tourists<br />
next year.(.) We’ve been supporting <strong>UITT</strong> from the beginning of the exhibition and I<br />
believe this exhibition is the best reference of the travel and tourism market in Ukraine; it<br />
is a very interesting fair. The exhibition absolutely concentrates the attention of all the<br />
national tourism centres of all the countries.”<br />
Mohamed Khaleel, President of MATATO<br />
“Ukraine is a very important market for the Maldives, it is an emerging market and it is<br />
very active. For the last three to four years I have been attending <strong>UITT</strong> individually and<br />
I’ve seen that there are huge opportunities in the market. The exhibition is going very<br />
well and this morning there was a queue of visitors wanting to collect brochures and<br />
information, which is a lot of exposure for the Maldives. <strong>UITT</strong> is very effective; an<br />
excellent forum to have good business meets, and is well organised.”<br />
Saeed Abdulla Al Samahi, General Manager, Fujairah Tourism & Antiquities Authority<br />
“The Ukrainian tourist market is any important market for us and it is our second time at<br />
<strong>UITT</strong>. In 2012, almost 80,000 tourist travelled to UAE from Ukraine.(.) Ukrainian people<br />
love to go to Dubai and we wish to take them to Fujairah. I think the Ukraine exhibition is<br />
important, we must be here.”<br />
