John Travolta as their special guest for a VIP cocktail party at held at
Jumeirah 360º on Thursday.
Mr John Travolta said “I’m really pleased to be here this evening
celebrating all things Australia and Dubai. The new Qantas and Emirates
partnership was what sparked my own interest in visiting Dubai, and it’s
terrific that so many Australians have had the opportunity to
experience it following Qantas’ launch here in March.”
“I’ve had such a fantastic time here from the warm hospitality to the
city and desert experiences and I will continue to spread the good word
about Dubai. And for those of you who have not experienced Qantas yet, I
recommend you fly my favourite airline next time you travel to
Australia or London.
ABCD Chairman Craig Holding hosted the evening in conjunction with
Qantas Middle East & North Africa Regional General Manager, Rohan
Garnett, and guests were treated to an evening of cocktails and canapés
and an interview with John Travolta.
Commenting at the event, Mr Holding said “We are very grateful to
have Mr John Travolta here in Dubai, and we are honoured to have him as
our special guest tonight”.
“We welcomed Qantas and Emirates as co-sponsors of ABCD earlier this
year and we are privileged to have this opportunity to showcase what the
ABCD is about as part of Mr Travolta’s visit.”
“Our organisation promotes trade between Australia and Dubai and this
event will no doubt promote further awareness of our activities,
particularly tourism between Dubai and Australia.”
Mr Garnett said “We are pleased to be able to facilitate this
activity with ABCD this evening. This type of activity strengthens the
cultural and economic exchange and promotes Dubai as a global gateway to
the world.”

promoting further travel to Australia, both with Qantas and Emirates.”
