Friday, August 3, 2018

The UAE, which brings comfort to its citizens and tourists in the same way and has prioritized its heritage and preserved its history to attract the new generation of travelers, has become a leading international tourism destination. It combines authenticity with modernity and development, through its rapid urban development that is the fastest in the Middle East and the world.

 
The UAE has placed a lot of importance on its tourism sector, which is a key pillar of its economy supporting its competitiveness. The UAE Cabinet came to a decision to exempt the companions of visitors who are under 18 years of age from any entry visa fee when visiting the country between 15th July and 15th September each year.

 
The country’s tourism sector will also receive a significant boost when it exempts transit tourists from entry visa fees for the first 48 hours of their stay.

 
According to the World Tourism Organization, the UAE is currently one of the ten fastest growing tourist destinations in the world, which was achieved by the country’s emirates, especially Abu Dhabi, through developing their infrastructure and supporting the hotel sector, along with holding exhibitions, festivals and other events, such as the Sheikh Zayed Heritage Festival, the Sultan bin Zayed Heritage Festival, and the Abu Dhabi Art Fair.

 
Arab and foreign tourists travel to Abu Dhabi due to its many tourist sites, markets and activities, as well as its urban development and other tourist attractions. Abu Dhabi also has many hotels, including some of the best hotels in the country, as well as hotel apartments, villas and chalets.
