(Dubai) – As far as office parties go, this is a pretty big one. Around 7,500 executives from China partied at Dubai’s Meydan Events Arena. An equal number of colleagues are expected again on Sunday. The bash is part of an incentive trip billed as the biggest ever in Dubai so big it was split into batches.
A US anti-aging products company, Nu Skin, is rewarding up to 16,000 top sales performers in its China market by taking them on a UAE tour. The first batches started arriving and the 10-day trip will last till April 16.
In the festive get-together, many of the visiting women executives wore orange or green abayas, the long outerwear of Arab women that are normally black. The men too donned traditional Arab men’s thobes.
