UAE strengthens tourism investment appeal with competitive incentives and national growth strategy

Record visitor numbers, expanding infrastructure and long-term reforms position the Emirates among the world’s leading tourism destinations

The United Arab Emirates has reinforced its position as a global tourism and investment hub by introducing highly competitive incentives and implementing a comprehensive national strategy aimed at accelerating sustainable growth across the tourism sector. This is reported by Emirates News Agency (WAM), a partner of TV BRICS.

The sector continues to benefit from strong natural, social, and regulatory advantages. These include the UAE’s strategic location connecting East and West.

As a result, the UAE ranks among the top seven global destinations for international tourist spending and holds leading positions in global competitiveness indicators related to air travel and tourism infrastructure. During the first half of the year, hotel establishments hosted more than 16 million guests, supported by over 1,200 hotel properties offering in excess of 216,000 rooms nationwide.

The UAE has also launched multiple national initiatives to enhance tourism competitiveness, including frameworks to support domestic tourism, promote emerging destinations, integrate tourism into education systems and strengthen engagement with international tourism institutions.

Under the National Tourism Strategy 2031, authorities are rolling out advanced digital projects, such as integrated data systems for hospitality establishments, alongside plans to diversify tourism products, accelerate digital transformation and embed sustainability across all tourism activities and services.

These policies have translated into strong economic indicators, with tourism investment rising steadily year on year, passenger traffic through UAE airports reaching record levels, and both international and domestic tourism spending showing sustained growth. According to the source, the country also continues to secure top regional and global rankings in international tourism and travel development reports, reflecting the effectiveness of its long-term vision.

Prabowo Subianto

President of Indonesia

"This roadmap sets the framework for our joint efforts. Indonesia and Belarus have great potential for expanding cooperation in various fields. Our cooperation will focus on industrial development and agricultural modernisation. In industry, we see a major opportunity to increase trade volumes, investment, and cooperation between our two countries. We are also pushing for closer collaboration in culture and human resource development"

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"
