The Ajman Tourism Development Department has launched a promotional tour to the CIS

under the leadership of Mahmood Khaleel Alhashmi, Director-General of the Ajman

Tourism Development Department.

The tour, which is being held from 14th September to 21st September, has been organised

to reinforce collaborations with representatives from the tourism sector of Kazakhstan,

Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan in a move to attract more tourists to the emirate of Ajman.

The promotional tour includes visits to Almaty, Tashkent and Baku, during which the

Department is highlighting Ajman’s latest tourist destinations and new projects which aim

to enhance the Emirate’s position as a global tourist destination.

Ajman is currently witnessing a substantial increase in tourists from the CIS countries,

recording an exceptional increase of 12 percent visitors and 12 percent increase in nightly

accommodations. This is a testament to the growing attractiveness of the emirate as a

tourist destination. There has been a marked increase

of 3 percent in hotel occupancy rate, along with a 5 percent increase in room revenues as

compared to the previous year.

Alhashmi said, ‘The key goal of the promotional tour is to enhance Ajman’s position as a

leading tourist destination at a regional and global scale. Our visit to the CIS is aimed at

deepening strategic relations with our key partners and further exploring newer avenues

for cooperation and exchange of expertise.’
