Bahrain Exhibition and Convention Authority
Gulf Air and Bahrain Exhibition and Convention Authority (BECA) have entered a strategic alliance aimed at boosting the kingdom's position as a leading destination for corporate meetings, incentive travel, conferences and exhibitions; as a result Gulf Air has secured automatic sponsorship and official carrier status association with BECA and all its events throughout the year.
Gulf Air Chief Executive Officer Björn Näf signed the agreement with BECA's Acting Chief Executive Officer Debbie Stanford-Kristiansen. As the only national carrier of the kingdom, we are constantly looking at ways to promote Bahrain to the world and bring the world to the kingdom and I am very pleased with our strategic alliance with BECA, which will surely have a significant and positive impact on this initiative," stated CEO, Mr. Näf.
This strategic alliance is an effective mechanism for Bahrain to gain access to more markets as both parties are dedicated to the highest standards in all areas of our operations and are committed to making the overall customer experience the most enjoyable possible at every level. Both aims are to focus on generating business into Bahrain as a leisure and business destination as a result of this association.
Business Tourism plays a truly important role in growing Bahrain’s economy-more so today than at any time in its history. We truly believe that working with key industry stakeholders such as BECA, Bahrain International Circuit, EDB, Tourism Affairs and the hospitality industry is our key to success in positioning Bahrain as a leading MICE contender against both regional and global competitors
