Abu Dhabi: ADNEC Group, through its tourism arm, Tourism 365, has introduced new charter flight services in the UAE. The move seeks to enhance travel options for international tourists from multiple destinations while reaffirming the UAE’s hospitality offering and reputation as a premier global destination.
The new service, available from Europe and central Asia, is aimed at increasing visitor arrivals to the UAE as well as solidifying the Group’s position as a key player in the regional tourism sector. The service comes in line with the group’s wider hospitality offering, supporting the travel industry’s role in the nation’s economic growth, a sector expected to represent nearly 10 percent of the UAE’s total economy in 2023.
Our strategic ongoing goal is to boost the UAE tourism sector’s contribution to national economic growth through enhancing the offering and capabilities of the sector. Tourism 365’s ongoing growth and service diversification have the power to further increase tourist arrivals and diversify the source markets, increasing the international footprint of travellers visiting the UAE. ADNEC Group continues to successfully collaborate with tour operators to attract increasing visitor numbers to Abu Dhabi, highlighting the world-class tourist experiences in the nation’s capital.
Mr. Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNEC Group, said,
Ms. Roula Jouny, CEO of Tourism 365, stated that the new charter flight services, complemented by the tourism packages, not only welcome an increasing number of visitors to experience the wonders of Abu Dhabi but also contribute to ADNEC Group’s goal of growing the tourism sector’s role in the nation’s economic growth.
Charter flights have been launched by Tourism 365 from high-demand and non-commercially operated international markets. Hundreds of travellers from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Belarus, and Tajikistan are expected to experience Tourism 365’s new service this year alone.
This October, the German market will also benefit from the launch of weekly charter operations to Abu Dhabi from airports including Leipzig, Nuremberg, and Cologne. Through its own tour operator, Capital Holidays, the charter flights will complement the existing direct commercial flight network.
