The United Arab Emirates has strengthened its role as a central player
in the global tourism sector, cementing its position as a leading
destination for international travel, events, and investment.

The UAE is set to observe World Tourism Day tomorrow, 27th

results across the sector. This success, which has earned praise from
international bodies and visitors worldwide, reflects the superior quality
of the UAE’s tourism model.

In statements to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), Abdulla bin Touq Al
Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism and Chairman of the Emirates
Tourism Council, said that the sector had achieved major milestones,
including the launch of the UAE Tourism Strategy 2031 and the election
of Shaikha Nasser Al Nowais, as the first Emirati to hold the position of
Secretary-General of the UN World Tourism Organisation for the 2026-
2029 term.

The Minister noted that the UAE ranked among the top seven global
destinations for international tourist spending. It also secured top
worldwide positions in several travel and aviation competitive indicators,
