In the final episode of Crafting the Experience: Behind the Scenes at Miral, “Miral Brand Pillars: Discovering the Pillars Upon Which Miral Proudly Stands”, we dissect the brand pillars that are at the basis of Miral’s success as a MICE destination with Abdul Aziz Al Khoori, Miral's Executive Director of Strategy and Transformation. He outlines Miral’s vision for developing Yas Island and how it is positioning itself as a regional leader as events organiser.

A Multi-Engineered Approach to Destination Development

Miral's success hinges on three core business pillars, each playing a crucial role in Yas Island's success in growing the destination’s MICE sector:

  • Development: The foundation, where innovative concepts are meticulously thought through for developing MICE-specific venues and experiences, ensuring impeccably designed and flawless event execution.
  • Experiences: The heart of the MICE offer. Miral curates a diverse portfolio of theme parks, attractions and accommodation, ensuring a seamless experience for attendees and organisers alike. This allows for creative team-building opportunities and engaging social events beyond the conference room.
  • Destination Management: Miral acts as the conductor, integrating everything - venues, infrastructure and experiences - to create a well-connected ecosystem. It manages Yas Island as a holistic destination, ensuring every aspect of MICE events run smoothly.

Yas Island isn't just about the big-ticket attractions. Smaller experiences add a layer of richness to the island, offering opportunities for networking and cultural immersion outside formal event spaces. Three key drivers power this carefully designed destination:

  • Industry Recognition: Aligning with previous discussions in this series on unlocking value through MICE incentives, Miral focuses on solidifying Yas Island's position as a premier entertainment destination. This attracts not just tourists, but also large-scale business events, offering a unique and engaging backdrop.
  • Strategic Expansion: Saadiyat Island's inclusion as a second playground is a prime example of Miral’s constant innovation and development of unique attractions. By taking on a destination management role there, Miral broadens its MICE capabilities and caters to a wider range of event needs.
  • Diversification Beyond MICE: This speaks to Miral's strategic agility and its dedication to immersive experiences. Miral leverages its expertise in new sectors, expanding its value chain and offering a comprehensive event ecosystem.

Partnerships Drive MICE Success

Recognising the economic importance of the MICE sector, Miral has dedicated teams to assist companies in planning and executing their events. These experts leverage the incredible venues and diverse range of hotels available across Yas Island and Saadiyat Island to craft bespoke itineraries that cater to every requirement.

Complementing Miral’s unparalleled local expertise, Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau provides a grand vision for Abu Dhabi's future. Miral’s strong partnership with the Convention and Exhibition Bureau fuels MICE growth with this collaboration, ensuring a streamlined and successful event experience.

A Long-Term Commitment to Sustainability

Looking ahead, sustainability is paramount. From rooftop solar parks to a dedicated East 2050 Agenda commitment, Miral is leading the change towards a greener future for MICE events. This commitment ensures the long-term viability of Yas Island as a destination and resonates with environmentally conscious organisations.

The story of Yas Island is a testament to the power of Miral’s vision, collaboration and innovation. By harmoniously blending business, leisure and sustainability, Miral has set a benchmark for MICE destinations, offering a strategic and seamlessly integrated event experience.
