The CEO said that winning the award showcases the BTEA’s success in achieving the Kingdom’s visions of establishing one of the largest conference and exhibition spaces in the region, according to global standards. 

Such efforts will support Bahrain’s position as a destination for international conferences, investments, and tourism, he said.

Dr. Qaedi stressed that the BTEA’s team is dedicated to innovation and creativity, especially in the fields of care and hospitality.

Art Moldavia Schuchman, Executive Director of Eventseum Hall of Fame, said that the Eventseum Global Judging Panel described the EWB as one of the most ambitious tourism infrastructure projects in the Middle East.

The BTEA’s delegation also participated in the IMEX exhibition, introducing Bahrain’s advanced tourism infrastructure and tourism potential, as well as the ambitious goals outlined in the Bahrain Tourism Strategy 2022-2026.
