We hope you're either enjoying some downtime to beat the summer heat 🥵, or at least counting down towards it!
This week, we're getting a behind-the-scenes understanding of Dubai Tourism's strategy during and post-lockdown from their CEO, Issam Kazim.
On the latest episode of The Lighthouse Conversations, Hashem Montasser and co-host Samatha Wood sit down with Issam to talk about how Dubai Tourism approached the pandemic and the process behind some of their iconic campaigns. We also learned that the Dubai restaurant scene is 13,000 strong, and accolades such as MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants and The Michelin Guides put the city on the map for food tourism in addition to other attractions.
