A DESERT PARADISE
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, has invested in several major projects to transform itself into a tourist paradise. The Four Seasons Hotel is expanding and investing in new technologies to meet rising demand.
Description
Abu Dhabi has gained great wealth from its oil and gas resources, but authorities have worked hard to diversify their economy and make it more sustainable. Investments have been made in a variety of sectors, including tourism. The number of tourists is currently growing at about a 15 percent annual rate and the region is expected to have 7.9 million annual visitors by 2030. The luxurious and ultra-modern Four Seasons Hotel commands the waterfront of Al Maryah Island, and plays a vital role in meeting the growing tourism market in the United Arab Emirates.
