growth.

The meeting discussed various innovative tourism initiatives that the UAE could introduce as

designed to boost tourism sustainability, reduce carbon emissions, and localise the cutting-

edge technology across the diverse sectors and activities within the sector.

Additionally, the meeting explored marketing strategies to promote the 'Major Tourism

Pathways' project, which seeks to harmonise the travel experience throughout the seven

emirates while also highlighting their cultural diversity, encouraging visitors to explore them.

Furthermore, the Council meeting explored the possibility of introducing a new tourism

training program called 'Summer Hospitality Camps,' aimed at boosting Emiratisation in the

sector by engaging more youth. Its goal is to cultivate local workforce competencies and
skills in the sector, offer practical training, and raise awareness on tourism's role in the

country's national economic growth. This program will be available to students who are 16

years old and above.
