Shangri-La Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi, is pleased to be hosting the third Abu Dhabi Dragon Boat Festival, part of Adrenaline Sports Live presented by RANI, on 8th and 9th October 2010.
As the main sponsor of the Dragon Boat Festival, since its inception in 2008, Shangri-La Hotel, Abu Dhabi hosts corporate teams for training days at the hotel's beach every year and entered its own teams into the competition. This year, the Shangri-La and Traders Dragons team is a culmination of colleagues from both Shangri-La Hotel and Traders Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
As in previous years, the hotel will host the festival on the 1km stretch of beachfront that overlooks Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The festival will then end with an award ceremony and celebratory barbeque party on Traders Hotel beach.
Dragon Boating is a thrilling water sport full of adrenaline, sportsmanship, strategy and technique. It is also a sport that is about positive team spirit, being healthy, making friends and having fun. Companies are encouraged to enter their corporate teams for this year's festival early, due to the enormous popularity of this growing sport.
Adrian Rudin, general manager, Shangri-La Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi, said: "The Abu Dhabi Dragon Boat Festival (part of
Adrenaline Sports Live presented by RANI) is a great success every year and our involvement again for 2010 is important as an Asian hospitality company.
We see dragon boating as the perfect sporting activity to sponsor and we are delighted to be holding the third festival at our Hotel again this year."
"We will once again be entering the competition ourselves with our dynamic Shangri-La and Traders Dragons team. We have some talented colleagues on the team and we are hopeful that we will do well again this year," Rudin added. To register a team today, email info@sirenconsulting.com
