Abu Dhabi: Yas Island is heading to Shanghai, China to promote the world-class destination with one of the fastest-growing travel markets in the world.

Yas Island officials believe their participation in the Incentive Travel and Convention Meetings China 2014 (IT&CM China) from April 15 to 17, will enable it to further build relationships with China’s burgeoning outbound travel industry.

There are now more than 45 direct flights a week between China and the UAE.
