What our clients/partners will tell you

"Julie and her team were a dream to work with. Nothing was ever a problem and Julie was able to juggle multiple requests while walking the fine line between keeping the stakeholders in Dubai happy and understanding broadcast television. I was constantly impressed with Julie’s “can-do” attitude and amazed at how she managed to achieve precisely what we asked for and work with us to make some incredible TV moments. I deal with lots of Tourism Bodies in my role at Sunrise and I have no hesitation in saying that Julie and Dubai Tourism were one of the best Tourism Bodies I have had the pleasure to work with”

Monica Lepore,Chief of Staff, Channel 7, Sunrise

"I have known Julie for over 6 years now both as a colleague and a service provider. Julie has built an excellent industry reputation in an industry that has no where to hide for those who don’t deliver. As a supplier to my team at ARABIAN ADVENTURES Julie’s professionalism and efficiency was evident as she negotiated and cajoled her way to running, incredibly cost effective educational visits to Dubai for huge numbers of Australian agents with whom she is highly networked. As a colleague at Dubai Tourism , Julie was the benchmark for our global representation network in terms of her thoroughness, ability to develop creative and innovative projects, her attention to key KPI data and especially her attention to generating tangible and measurable returns for all expenditure. I would have no hesitation recommending Julie to anyone and indeed, will be seeking opportunities to use Julie’s services in the future."
