BTEA backs effort to boost tourism sector

Chief Executive Officer of the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA), Shaikh Khaled bin Humood Al Khalifa, yesterday pledged full support to all initiatives aimed at boosting investments in Bahrain’s tourism sector.

“This comes in line with the BTEA’s long-term strategy to make the Kingdom a leading regional hub offering a diverse and distinct variety of tourism facilities and promoting it through its representative offices which have collaborated with several travel agencies in target markets,” said Shaikh Khaled.

He was speaking during Bahrain British Business Forum (BBBF) held in the presence of the Chairman of BBBF, Khalid Al Zayani, British Ambassador to Bahrain, Simon Martin and BBBF members at the Westin Bahrain City Centre.

During the event, the CEO of BTEA said that BTEA’s participation comes in line with its overall strategy aimed at developing the tourism sector under the slogan of ‘Ours. Yours’.

The forum has nine Special Interest Groups (SIGs), covering oil, gas & energy, hospitality, construction, banking & financial services, ICT and legal sectors; as well as organisational effectiveness, young professionals and women in business.
