5th March 2008, Abu Dhabi, UAE: Event organisers Reed Travel Exhibitions have chosen Al Raha Beach Hotel, Abu Dhabi's premier boutique hotel to host the 2008 GIBTM gala dinner, the key social occasion taking place during the exhibition.

The Gulf Incentive, Business Travel & Meetings Exhibition is the leading exhibition in the Middle East for the Meetings, Incentive Events and Business Travel Industry. With the dinner attracting an expected turnout of over 800 GIBTM attendees it will surely be an event not to be missed in the 2008 MICE calendar. 

The gala dinner will take place on the landscaped terraces of the hotel on Wednesday 9 April 2008 from 8pm and will be the perfect opportunity to network, with industry specific professionals including 275 International meeting planners, event organisers, incentive & business travel buyers and participants in the GIBTM Hosted Buyer programme.

Al Raha Beach Hotel's Executive Chef Martin Fischl has planned a menu of gastronomic excellence - one that will take your taste buds on an expedition of flavours to the four corners of the globe and of course absolutely fitting to complement a leading travel event which moreover, will ensure the guests experience a night to remember.
