He praised the collaborative efforts of government entities, private enterprises, and the hospitality industry in making the UAE a magnet for global travelers.
Tourists’ increasing choice for the UAE’s opulent experiences, famous landmarks, retail hotspots, and top-notch events is reflected in this latest rating.
