UAE, Abu Dhabi – 05 February 2025: The UAE hosts a wide range of agricultural
festivals throughout the year, serving both educational and tourism purposes.

These events have become key social gatherings for green tourism enthusiasts,
drawing large crowds due to their diverse programs, curated exhibits, and meticulous
organization.

They also provide a unique opportunity to explore the nation's agricultural products
and witness the innovative contributions by local citizens.

The ‘World’s Coolest Winter’ campaign, now in its fifth season under the theme
‘Green Tourism,’ plays a significant role in highlighting the success of agricultural
destinations in attracting tourists.

This initiative, in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy, the National
Agricultural Center, and local tourism authorities, aligns with the UAE’s domestic
tourism strategy, which aims to create a comprehensive and integrated tourism
ecosystem across the country, as envisioned by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed
bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler
of Dubai.
