This accounts for around 10% of the whole GDP. Additionally, according to the WTTC, the industry will add close to 7,000 employment this year, exceeding the pre-pandemic record of 745,100, to reach more than 758,000 total positions.

In 2022, foreign visitors returned to the UAE, with India (13%), Oman (8%), Saudi Arabia (8%), and the UK (7%) leading the way as source markets for arrivals from outside. The results show that foreign tourists contributed AED 117.6 billion to the national economy in 2022, a year-over-year gain of 65.3%, although 19% less than in 2019.

WTTC President & CEO Julia Simpson stated: “The national Travel & Tourism sector is rebounding at a quick rate, indicating the UAE continues to gain favour with foreign visitors. One of the busiest and most successful airports in the world, Dubai International, which serves as a gateway to the Middle East, is located in the United Arab Emirates. “The sector’s future is promising. The sector’s contribution will match that of 2019 by the end of this year, and over the following ten years, growth will exceed the country’s GDP and generate more than 114,000 new employment, or one in every nine positions. Our most recent Cities EIR Report demonstrated the attractiveness that popular tourist spots nationwide, like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, continue to have for visitors from outside. These cities have demonstrated extraordinary resiliency and capable leadership. What will the upcoming ten years look like?

The accreditation of SeaWorld® Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, and Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue, Abu Dhabi was announced today in Washington, D.C. by Global Humane, the global arm of American Humane and the biggest certifier of animal welfare in the world. The marine life theme park and rescue centre that are located next to the park have received the first Global Humane accreditation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) area, demonstrating the high quality of animal care they provide. Speaking at the occasion, which was held at the National Press Club, were representatives from Global Humane, Yas SeaWorld Abu Dhabi Miral’s owner and operator, and SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment, which also owned the park. On May 23, the Abu Dhabi park is scheduled to debut. American Humane has led the way in advancing the welfare and security of animals and enhancing the link between people and animals for more than a century. Numerous significant animal welfare programmes, such as Hollywood’s “No Animals Were Harmed®” programme, are supported by the organisation. Dr Robin Ganzert, President and CEO of Global Humane, said, “We are delighted that SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue have met the requirements to become Global Humane Certified.” “SeaWorld Abu Dhabi will provide United Arab Emirates citizens with an exceptional chance to see the marvels of the ocean up close, hopefully inspiring the subsequent generation of environmentalists. This is SeaWorld’s first international site, giving Global Humane the chance to acknowledge the movement’s vast impact in zoos, aquariums, and conservation parks throughout the globe. Strict certification requirements: Both SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue have received Global Humane Certification after passing a demanding third-party evaluation that, following months of planning, examined the welfare of animals in the park and center’s care. The unique method is informed by reputable veterinarians, specialists in animal welfare, animal science, zoology, and ethics, who have years of experience safeguarding animals, and is directed by the most recent scientific research. The independent validation procedure gives park visitors the assurance that the institution is upholding a high standard of care and goes above and above to help safeguard animals. An application period for the pre-audit is followed by an on-site inspection to evaluate animal welfare. Housing, food, water, lighting, shade, sound, activity levels, and the training of staff members who are dealing with the animals are some of the factors taken into account during the audit. The specific standards differ depending on the species. “American Humane is a well-respected independent animal welfare organisation whose rigorous standards ensure that animals live healthy and safe lives in human care,” stated Dr. Chris Dold, Chief Zoological Officer of SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment. Providing the highest levels of care is essential to our parks’ objective of inspiring and teaching the public about marine wildlife for close to 60 years. We adhere to and go above American Humane’s accreditation criteria in all of our U.S. parks, demonstrating that we share their passion and dedication for the welfare of animals. As we expand to the United Arab Emirates, where the Arabian Gulf is a significant marine environment and an essential part of the Abu Dhabi community, we are pleased to have received Global Humane accreditation for the first SeaWorld outside of the United States. “At Miral Experiences, we’re committed to providing top-notch attractions that go above and beyond entertainment to provide really outstanding visitor experiences. According to Julien Kauffman, CEO of Miral Experiences, “this extends to us innovatively teaching our guests and showcasing our dedication to sustainability and animal welfare with SeaWorld Abu Dhabi. “The Global Humane certification for SeaWorld Abu Dhabi is a celebration of our group’s milestones and accomplishments and a testimonial to our dedication to these ideals. We think that by providing an engaging and instructive experience, we may motivate our visitors to take a lifetime interest in protecting the environment and marine life. Our commitment to improving animal welfare and sustainability in the area and globally is strengthened by our cooperation with SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment and our accreditation by Global Humane. Yas Island was honoured with seven honours at the prestigious World Travel honours in 2022 for its top-notch theme parks, activities, and attractions.

The five companies owned by LOTTE WORLD are LOTTE WORLD ADVENTURE, Aquarium, and SEOUL SKY. There are 21 locations operated by LOTTE DUTY FREE, including airports in Brisbane and Guam. Announcing the beginning of HOTEL LOTTE’s fifty-year existence (1970s) Former Korean President Chung-Hee Park entrusted Kyuk-Ho Shin, the company’s founder and former chairman, with the hotel sector in 1970. Chairman Shin opened Hotel LOTTE on May 5th, 1973, despite the venture required significant funding. He launched LOTTE HOTEL SEOUL, the largest luxury hotel in Asia at the time, after spending $150 million over the course of six years, launching Korea’s tourist sector. Creating a tourist attraction out of the suburban Jamsil in the 1980s In the 1980s, HOTEL LOTTE focused on Jamsil, a Seoul suburb at the time, and started making plans for the nation’s first indoor theme park. The LOTTE WORLD Adventure opened its doors in July 1989 after a total of 454 million dollars had been invested over five years. The Guinness Book of World Records listed it as the world’s largest indoor theme park at the time, and more than 210 million people have visited it since it first opened, making it one of Korea’s premier tourist destinations. 1988 saw the opening of LOTTE HOTEL WORLD in Jamsil during the Seoul Olympics. The district became a popular tourist attraction once HOTEL LOTTE opened in January 1989, followed by the establishment of LOTTE DUTY FREE.

The first duty-free establishment in the sector to emphasise brand identification through red uniforms and signs, strengthening the perception of the nation, was the duty-free launch at Gimpo Airport Terminals 1 and 2 in 1999. K-brand promotion during the Korean wave (2010s) Early in the new millennium, LOTTE DUTY FREE started a programme to encourage Korean travel by fusing Korean Wave with shopping, travel, and culture.

Since 2006, The Family Concert has brought in a total of one million spectators, attracting tourists from all over the world to K-Brands. In 2017, LOTTE globe unveiled the observatory “SEOUL SKY” in the LOTTE WORLD TOWER, which at the time stood at 555 metres and was the third-tallest structure in the whole globe. Developing a worldwide growth plan to establish your company as a global leader Based on the history of HOTEL LOTTE in Korea, the largest hotel chain in that country, LOTTE HOTELS & RESORTS, has expanded its operations internationally with the establishment of LOTTE HOTEL MOSCOW in 2010. The five-star ranking in the 2023 Forbes Travel Guide was given to LOTTE HOTELS & RESORTS for its several properties, including the 1882-built LOTTE NEW YORK PALACE, LOTTE HOTEL SEATTLE, LOTTE HOTEL ST. PETERSBURG, and others. It is a testament to LOTTE HOTELS & RESORTS’ strong brand that it has hosted major international gatherings including the UN General Assembly and the US-Korea Summit. Former US presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump have both picked it for their stays at the LOTTE New York Palace, while Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has chosen the LOTTE HOTEL SEOUL. Additionally, LOTTE DUTY FREE has launched five outlets in Oceania and the first facility for the Korean duty-free market at Indonesia’s Jakarta Airport.

Sean Gobin, the organization’s founder and executive director, said, “Warrior Expeditions is thrilled to support another group of veterans along the Great American Rail Trail for the third year in a row.” “These rides provide our veterans the chance to see a variety of America while also finding calm and healing in nature.
