ABOUT
US
Over the years, our company matured fuelled by the remarkable growth of the region! Dubai skyrocketed with its iconic skyscrapers and world-class attractions, making us wonder if there's anything they can't build! Abu Dhabi emerged as a cultural and architectural masterpiece, leaving us in awe of their grand mosques, museums, and luxurious resorts. Not to be outdone, Ras Al Khaimah, the hidden gem, unveiled its pristine beaches and rugged mountains, making us want to pack our bags and head there right away! And with Qatar becoming a sports haven, Saudi Arabia emerging as the new travel hotspot, and Oman capturing our hearts with its stunning landscapes, we were constantly mastering new destinations, building new supplier relationships and keeping up with the ever-changing travel landscape!
Since the onset, Incentive Connections has been on the pulse, carefully curating special experiences for our clients, consciously capturing the true essence of each destination in a truly unique way!
