These achievements form part of an integrated national strategy aimed at reinforcing the UAE's position among the world’s leading tourist destinations.

The UAE has introduced significant incentives to attract investment and stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation in a sector experiencing sustained growth, underpinned by powerful tourism drivers. Chief among these are the country’s natural, social and legislative assets, which have positioned the UAE as a year-round destination, particularly during its mild and distinctive winter season.

These advantages include the country’s strategic location linking East and West, its rich biodiversity that blends deserts, oases, mountains, valleys, plains and beaches, as well as economic and political stability, a society rooted in values of religious tolerance and coexistence, year-round events supported by robust infrastructure, and a wide range of accommodation options.

As a result, the UAE has secured leading positions in global tourism rankings. It has been placed among the world’s top seven destinations for international tourist spending and ranked first globally in several competitiveness indicators related to aviation and travel, notably the quality of air transport infrastructure.
