Doha, Qatar: Grand Hyatt Doha has confirmed that it will be participating at the Gulf Incentive, Business Travel and Meetings Exhibition (GIBTM) in Abu Dhabi.

Illustrating the hotel's capacity as a world-class venue, the Arab League - a voluntary association of 22 Arabic-speaking countries - will be staying at Grand Hyatt Doha, which opened last week.

As the only event of its kind in the region, GIBTM is designed to promote the Gulf and Middle East region's travel and hospitality sectors by bringing together like-minded industry players from around the world.

"We are very pleased to be showcasing Grand Hyatt Doha at GIBTM for the first time. The hotel's proximity to Doha's commercial districts, and our impressive business travel and meeting offerings will serve the expected growth in business travellers to Qatar," said Garry Friend, General Manager of Grand Hyatt Doha.

Located at Stand G145, Grand Hyatt Doha will profile its luxurious accommodation and exciting entertainment and dining options, in addition to the hotel's 2,200 sq m of function space and its 11 meeting rooms of varying sizes.  

The hotel boasts a 1,500 square metre, pillarless ballroom that can be divided into three soundproof sections and a substantial pre-function area. To cater to business travellers' needs the hotel features chilled underground parking, wireless LAN connectivity in all public areas, meeting and function rooms and state-of-the-art audio visual equipment.

Grand Hyatt Doha is conveniently situated in the city's new West Bay Lagoon district, just minutes from the city's financial and commercial centers, places of cultural and historical interest, and Doha International Airport.

The hotel, with its magnificent Old World design, will provide the highest quality accommodation to the growing numbers of travellers visiting Qatar. The hotel's interior is inspired by local architecture and blends Arabian design with contemporary materials.

Over 250 regional and international organisations participate in GIBTM and the event boasts more than 1,500 attendees with the high-level Hosted Buyer programme guaranteeing the attendance of both visitors and senior level buyers from the Middle East, Asia and Europe.
