Background: an integrated programme

The Economist Group will provide Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC) with a multi-platform media solution, offering unrivalled access to a select audience of business leaders.

The Economist Group is the leading source of analysis on international business and world affairs. We deliver our information through a range of formats, from newspapers and magazines to conferences and electronic services. What ties us together is the objectivity of our opinion, the originality of our insight and our advocacy of economic and political freedom around the world.

The Economist Group

The Economist Intelligence Unit is the research and advisory arm of The Economist Group. We provide strategic intelligence on a range of industries and management practices, as well as country analysis and forecasting services.

Our research capabilities: the Economist Intelligence Unit

The editorial team in the Economist Intelligence Unit will produce authoritative research, including in-depth surveys and an online survey of our executive panel, on a theme associated with tourism.

The paper will then be distributed at The World In Forum in Dubai and to our database of contacts. TDIC will also receive copies of the paper that can be distributed among existing and potential clients.

The EIU has published over 400 sponsored research reports globally in the last five years.

The white paper:

A report of approximately 7,000 words (15-20 pages) will analyse the survey results and forecasts. It will also include case studies and qualitative analysis from 15-20 in-depth interviews with high-level executives and independent experts who are knowledgeable in the area under study.

The World in 2011 Forum

The Economist newspaper is bringing one of its flagship global events to Abu Dhabi, to coincide with the publication of The World in 2011. The World in 2011 Forum will identify the key economic, financial, political and social trends that will shape the world in 2011, and bring together international and local experts to assess what these trends mean for the Middle East and the Gulf.

Topics for discussion include:

The next emerging markets beyond the BRICs, and how Gulf investors are taking advantage of the shift in global economic weight. The preparations for a new global climate deal as the Kyoto protocol nears its end—and what it means for the oil market. With the event taking place the day after the Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi, a discussion focusing on the global sports business and what it means for nation-building and economic development.
