Lieutenant Colonel Muzeed Al Otaibi, chief of the Tourism Police Section at the Abu Dhabi Police (ADP), has advised tourists to use their credit cards for purchases as opposed to carrying large amounts of money during their travel.

“By doing so, tourists will be able to maintain their safety and won’t be subjected to robbery,” Al Otaibi said.  

The address falls within the framework of the ’Security Glances’ campaign organised by the Radio Branch at the Security Media Department, the General Secretariat of the Office of H.H Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior.

“In an effort to provide the tourists and visitors with greater protection and security, the Tourism Police Section needs to adopt a number of intensive preventive measures – most particularly in the destinations that attract large numbers of tourists seeking leisurely activities during holidays, national and religious occasions, and events. These measures additionally aim to provide tourists with various means of comfort in order to not only ensure an enjoyable experience, but to maintain the security of the community as well,” he said. – TradeArabia News Service
