The government has introduced initiatives to support the tourism sector in the emirate
Hotel occupancy rates in Abu Dhabi rose 3 percent year-on-year (yoy) in the first week of July, the Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) revealed in a statement.
As the emirate prepares to gradually open up to international travel, the increase in occupancy rates provides an optimistic outlook for the sector, the statement said.
“Abu Dhabi has long been known for its unparalleled hospitality and diverse range of offerings,” Ali Hassan Al Shaiba, Executive Director of Tourism and Marketing at DCT Abu Dhabi said.
“The progress we have seen since the start of this month was achieved by simply leveraging our offerings and the existing high standard of hospitality, to help us speed up the enlivenment of our sector and elevate further from that point,” Al Shaiba added.
Occupancy rates are also expected to rise further with the launch of initiatives to boost the sector, according to the statement.
“The support we have received from government authorities has also been a key driver in the progress of the tourism sector,” Al Shaiba said.
