Data Sharing with Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (DET)
– previously known as Dubai Tourism
Due to legal requirements, entry tickets to all events in Dubai must be supplied by Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) e-ticketing service. DET is the principal authority for the planning, supervision, development and marketing of tourism in Dubai. DET require RX Global (Reed Exhibitions) to provide your name, email, mobile number, country of residence, nationality, age, and group, and, where applicable (i.e for event speakers), passport details.
According to the DET’s “Frequently Asked Questions” the DET uses this data for various purposes including governmental resource planning, and, communication with ticket buyers and event registrants for market research to further improve the industry. If you have further questions about the DET e-ticketing service they can be contacted on etix@dubaitourism.ae
Dubai may not have equivalent privacy and data protection laws as those that may be afforded to you within your jurisdiction. As this is a legal obligation, we are unable to accept any registrations from those who do not wish for their information to be shared with Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET).
