Visitors will be hosted by experts from National Tourist Offices and Emirates Holidays destination partners from around the world, who will guide them to hundreds of holiday treasures, trendy new hotspots, honeymoon escapes, exciting cruises, wildlife safaris, adventures tours and ski holidays waiting to be explored at new and existing destinations in the latest edition of the brochures.

This year, Emirates Holidays will showcase details of its largest-ever range of holiday packages contained in four brochures covering the Middle East, Africa and Indian Ocean; Europe and The Americas; Asia and Australasia; and a brand-new Dubai and the Emirates.
