Alpha Tours, a leading travel solutions provider in the UAE and GCC, along with two leading global tour operators Natalie Tours and TUI, recently discussed steps to make 2015 the biggest year for tourism in UAE at a congress held in Dubai.

Dubai alone is expected to attract more than 15 million tourists from around the globe in 2015. This reflects positively on the growth of the hotel industry. With Abu Dhabi surpassing its target of attracting 3.1 million hotel guests in 2014, the UAE is continuing to prove itself as a popular destination for tourists across the world, snatching the title of world’s number one destination for hotels.

The event focused on the efforts and initiatives of Natalie Tours and TUI for tourism in the UAE along with their plans for 2015.

Natalie Tours has carved a niche as one of the leading tour operators into the UAE, bringing around two million tourists from Russia and the commonwealth of independent states (CIS) states over the past decade. The company has been working closely with Alpha Tours for the growth of tourism in the region.

TUI is a leading tour operating firm from Germany and also the world’s number one integrated leisure tourism group. They are known for providing high quality end-to-end customer experience to 30 million customers in 31 major source markets.

“With targets to attract 3.5 million hotel guests to Abu Dhabi in 2015, and a vision to bring in 20 million tourists per year to Dubai by 2020, the UAE’s tourism industry is ready for an exciting new year and a brighter future”, said Adnan Aridi, managing director of Alpha Tours. – TradeArabia News Service
