dnata bags AIDA Cruises’ shore excursions contract
dnata, the Middle East’s leading travel management company with services spanning every aspect of the travel industry, recently entered into partnership with Germany’s leading cruise company AIDA Cruises to provide shore excursions to their guests in Bahrain.
dnata expects to serve about 25,000 to 30,000 tourists to Bahrain over the next year as it services AIDAstella, a 2,300-passenger AIDA ship cruising the Gulf waters.
“As a destination management company (DMC) with specialised areas of operation, dnata has the flexibility to tailor its products to meet the unique requirements of our clients. The partnership with AIDA Cruises fits in with our strategic focus to provide premium holiday products and services in the Kingdom and further cements our position as a leader in cruise handling in the region," said dnata Bahrain GM Ashley Correa.
"We are delighted at this opportunity and look forward to working together to make it a success, and deliver memorable experiences to visitors,” added Correa.
dnata is the largest cruise passenger handling DMC in the Middle East. Since 2012, the company has provided more than 660,000 guest transfers and over 300,000 shore excursions. “With Dubai targeting one million cruise guests by 2020, the company expects its partnership with AIDA Cruises and other leading cruise companies to further position Cruise Arabia and the wider region as a sought-after cruise destination,” said dnataCruise Manager Jasem Zaiton.
