Global Visitors Summit set to transform travel trade connections in Dubai
The Global Visitors Summit (GVS) is coming to Dubai for the first time this August, bringing with it an unprecedented opportunity for the UAE's travel and hospitality industry to connect with top-tier global travel buyers in one place, at one time. Taking place on August 25–26 at the striking SO/ Uptown Hotel Dubai, the GVS will welcome 80 hosted travel buyers from some of the most dynamic outbound markets — including India, the CIS, GCC, Europe, and Brazil. These buyers represent a powerful mix of leisure travel specialists, MICE planners, OTAs, tour operators, and corporate travel agencies, each actively selling and promoting travel into the UAE and Gulf region. The GVS is built for efficiency and precision. Participating suppliers — from hotels, DMCs, attractions, shopping malls, museums, destinations, car rental companies, and airlines — can pre-select the buyers they want to meet, tailoring the schedule to match their business priorities, whether leisure groups, business travel, or MICE. Over the course of two days, suppliers will enjoy: • 55 pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings with handpicked buyers • A complete directory of all 80+ participating buyers, not just those scheduled for appointments • 15-minute structured sessions at buyer meeting points, with guaranteed punctuality and professionalism • A powerful and focused environment designed to maximize business opportunities "The GVS was designed with one goal: to make global travel business development easy, smart, and personal," says Alexander Glos, CEO of the China i2i Group, which organises the event in partnership with DNATA Representation Services in the UAE and One Rep Global in India. "We're bringing together top-tier global buyers with a specific interest in the UAE and GCC region, all under one roof, and giving travel suppliers the tools to connect, collaborate, and convert.' Side-by-Side with China Visitors Summit The GVS will run concurrently with the China Visitors Summit (CVS), which hosts 150 Chinese travel buyers—making this the largest B2B travel event of its kind ever held in the UAE, with 220 global buyers in total. Participants in either summit will have the option to access both events, dramatically expanding their business reach across the world's most important growth markets.

AI, drones, cameras to keep hajj pilgrims safe
AFP | Mecca Working day and night in front of maps, screens and seemingly endless data, Saudi officials have harnessed artificial intelligence to help manage the million-strong sea of pilgrims during the hajj. The technology has proven pivotal to track the overwhelming amount of footage from more than 15,000 cameras in and around the holy city of Mecca. The systems are tuned to spot abnormal crowd movements or predict bottlenecks in foot traffic -- a potential life-saver at a packed event with a history of deadly stampedes. Software is also used to help guide more than 20,000 buses deployed to transport pilgrims between holy sites during one of the world's biggest annual religious gatherings. It is all part of the tech arsenal that Saudi Arabia is deploying as 1.4 million faithful from across the globe descend on Mecca and its surrounds. 'In our traffic control room, we use specialised cameras that have AI layers to analyse movements, crowded areas' and predict behaviours, said Mohamed Nazier, chief executive officer for the General Transport Centre at the Royal Commission for Mecca. The centre has a main control room in Mecca filled with screens and maps, where staff use high-tech tools including AI for round-the-clock monitoring. About a dozen staff members sit in rows before desktop computers with a large display at the front, zooming in on crowd movements around the holy sites. On hillsides nearby, cameras that resemble little white robots film buildings, roads and pathways along the hajj route, which winds more than 20 kilometres (12 miles) between Mecca and Mount Arafat. Nazier said the constant monitoring is aimed at averting traffic collisions with pedestrians on crowded routes while also making sure there are buses available to minimise walking time in the desert heat. 'Our eye on the ground' With its cutting-edge technology, 'the control room is our eye on the ground,' said Mohammed al-Qarni, who oversees the hajj and the year round umrah pilgrimage at the transport centre. Artificial intelligence helps to determine 'the flow on the (roads to the holy sites), and detects emergency situations even before they occur', he told AFP, adding that the technology can help assess the number of people in a single place. Cameras and AI can estimate if a site has reached maximum capacity, allowing authorities to divert the flow of pilgrims, Qarni said. During the holy month of Ramadan this year, the system spotted when the Grand Mosque had reached full capacity. 'The flow to the Haram (Grand Mosque) was stopped and the process cont rolled,' he said.
