Turning Point Tourism LLC took part in the Abu Dhabi MICE Lunch in Kolkata. The event, hosted by the Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau, brought together some of the city’s leading travel trade and MICE professionals.

Managing Director Ali Asgar Hussain was there in person. For him, Kolkata is a market where relationships come first.

Meeting Kolkata’s top agents and MICE partners

Mr. Ali spent the afternoon with our top-producing agents, long-standing partners and key industry associates from Kolkata. These are the people who send their clients’ groups to us year after year. Meeting them face to face, not over email, is how that trust gets built.

What we discussed: MICE travel to Abu Dhabi

The conversations covered three areas:

• Upcoming MICE enquiries from Kolkata and the wider Eastern India market.
• Group and incentive travel to Abu Dhabi, including how programmes are planned and managed on the ground.
• How a UAE-based destination management company supports Indian agents with transfers, venues, experiences and on-site coordination in the UAE.

Why Kolkata matters for UAE group travel

Kolkata’s corporate and travel trade community is close-knit and relationship-led. Agents here choose partners they can call, trust and rely on when a programme is live. Our ground operations team in the UAE works to that same standard, so your group travels as guests while we handle the coordination.

Thank you to the Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau
Our thanks to the Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau for bringing the travel fraternity together. Events like this give agents and destination partners a direct line to each other.

Thank you, Kolkata, for the warm welcome and the conversations. We look forward to turning them into successful MICE programmes in Abu Dhabi. We Do Things Differently, and it starts with showing up.
