Abu Dhabi taps into Japan and Korea

Abu Dhabi’s tourism industry is heading to Japan and Korea this month for road shows aimed at putting the emirate’s expanding destination offering further up the Far Eastern outbound travel trade agenda.

Led by Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi), an 11-strong delegation – a mix of transport, hotel and resort operators, MICE facilities and destination management companies – will be touting an expanded tourism proposition which is being increasingly tailored to the high-yield Far Eastern visitor.

With ever stronger commercial and trade links between Abu Dhabi and both Japan and Korea, the emirate’s tourism sector is looking to turn business relationships to their advantage.

“Travellers from both countries now have good air access to the emirate with Etihad Airways operating 12 flights a week from Japan and seven from Korea to Abu Dhabi International Airport,” explained Mubarak Al Nuaimi, Director Promotions & Overseas Offices, TCA Abu Dhabi.
