Bahrain will soon witness the launch of world-class entertainment shows and events capable of attracting regional and international tourists, thereby creating quality job opportunities, said the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority.
“The move aims at achieving the objectives of Bahrain’s tourism strategy, rejuvenating the tourist industry, enhancing its competitiveness, expanding its contribution to GDP, and generating quality employment for residents,” said Dr Nasser Qaidi, CEO of the authority.
In March, Dr Qaidi said BTEA would launch a large-scale campaign in the regional and international markets to promote all activities scheduled for 2022.
“We will be organising a series of festivals showcasing different cultures through unique cooperation with different communities during their celebrations of national holidays of their countries throughout the year,” said Dr Qaidi.
“This would enhance tourism cooperation between Bahrain and various countries of the world,” he added.
BTEA, he said, is also organising a “Bahrain Design Week” for art and design. For this event, the authority is working with art associations from all over the Gulf Cooperation Council nations to attract regional artists to participate during the second half of this year.
Given the interest in horses among GCC citizens, BTEA is also planning to hold a weeklong horse festival, with races, art shows and family events in cooperation with equestrian authorities in the Kingdom, in the second half of this year. BTEA has also entered into a deal with organisers of water sports in the Kingdom to provide personal experiences for visitors and tourists from July to September 2022.
In November, the authority will organise an annual awards ceremony for tourism establishments in Bahrain to showcase the best the tourism industry can offer.
“The move aims at encouraging the private sector to open more tourism projects and supporting authority’s efforts to promote the sector.”
BTEA said it is also preparing to organise unprecedented celebrations for the glorious national holidays in December in cooperation with ministries and authorities.
The authority also said it plans a carnival that combines fun, entertainment, food, and beverages in one location.
Amusement parks, carnival games, outdoor cinema theatre, live shows, prizes for all age groups are also part of the plan that will run from December 2022 to January 2023.
