While the expansion of international tourism is a major feature of the process of globalization, the Arab world has long been a destination for western pilgrims, travelers, and adventurers Over time, tourism has grown as an international industry. It now represents one of the largest employers and items of trade in the global economy. While the bulk of this traffic is between the affluent societies of the industrialized North Atlantic, the 3%or so of the global flows which encompass the Arab world have had disproportional impact in enveloping the region in the global processes of tourism development In the Arab world today, while Western tourists still come in search of the region’s past, many governments are feverishly promoting tourism as a means to build their own economic futures. The argument posed by tourism boosters such as state elites, private entrepreneurs and international bankers is that the Arab world’s warm climates, sunny beaches, vast deserts, historical monuments, and native hospitality are some of the most valuable resources of the region and they should be exploited for the means of generating new sources of wealth. This industry has been touted as a means to help their developing economies adjust to the ever more competitive pressures of the global marketplace Given that we are international students from the Arab Gulf countries it is our duty to highlight our culture to the British community .This was the starting point in choosing the topic the group members to execute the analyzation of the current condition on the ground in the Arab word. The existence of Arab Vision.2015 was phrased by Qatar development management committee in 2003. However, it came to effect in June 2008. It was implemented by Arab citizens. The group was composed of; Ali Al-Mousawi, Mohammed Al-Attiyah, Hazza Al-Attiyah, Saleh Al-Marri, Hussein Ismail. Although it had excellent ideas, it had strengths and weaknesses to both the economy and the citizens. For example, the effect of establishment of the financial stability and risk committee has by greatly stabilized the plans of the committee. Secondly the enactment of the strategic plan has been a major landmark document for Qatar this is because it sets a basis of latest global thinking and regulatory of authorizes. The document also gave hope for economic development and improved living standards. The committee faced major drawbacks as not all the plans were executed as stipulated, this was a significant drawback in the implementation, individual judgments distorted the smooth implementation to achievement of the vision for a managed event. Our Vision Our Vision of the event to give a chance for the public to learn about falconry and give a general idea about the sport and its history associated with our Arab heritage and its history in the United Kingdom .Strengthen regional relations between Arab students and the college community was our main goal. Distribution of duties First meeting As a team, we saw it was essential to figure out the roles of the each and every member of the group and assign tasks for the project. The first meeting took place on February 2014 in the library, with the main agenda to pick an interesting topic and the distribution of duties. On having a consensus on the topic and the distribution of duties, the members were needed to have collective efforts towards the carrying out of the duties shared.

Personal reflection Ali Al-Mousawi In my opinion the whole Event was a not an easy task, as the group leader I was obliged to make sure that all the events were handled as per our plan. I managed to influence my group members and build group confidence. It was hectic at the beginning since there were a number of issues to bear in mind, including shipment from Qatar, and co-coordinating duties. After we had our first meeting, all members put adequate efforts in their duties as they were supposed to do, I felt that my leadership skills were of gentle and persuasive approach.

It was fun travelling allover as I am a great fun in the travel industry Hazza Al-Attiyah I was very glad that the group members entrusted me with the work of directing the video and photographing. Being a fun of photography since mu child hood, I knew I would give my best on this task. I managed in persuading my team mates to be filmed, which proved to be a good starting point. This has given me confidence to want to peruse in filming or broadcasting sector and this video shows my competency in photography and technology, which might give me opportunity to pursue that career in future.
