The Dubai Commerce and Tourism Promotion Board (DCTPB) is a statutory body which formally opened for business in October 1989. Its responsibility is to promote Dubai as a major intentional centre for business and tourism arid it has offices in Philadelphia, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Hong Kong and Tokyo, as well as in Dubai. 

The DCTPB works closely with other Dubai organisations in coordinating promotional programmes and activities such as inward and outward missions by trade and media delegations, seminars and road shows and participation in international and local trade fairs.

It also provides information and assistance to the business and tourism communities, both in Dubai and overseas, and produces a wide range of brochures and other publications.
