Department of Tourism and Culture Director General HE Saif Saeed Ghobash has welcomed the latest increase in the arrivals of visitors to Abu Dhabi. He said that Q4 has traditionally been a strong period for Abu Dhabi in terms of visitor arrivals. There has been a specific rise in arrivals from Europe, as quoted by the Travelbizmonitor.

The performance of the tourism sector in November has been really encouraging said Ghobash. The 16% increase in guests in hotels across all 3 regions adds up to 4.3 million Tourist Visas, added the Director-General.

The launching of Louvre Abu Dhabi was a phenomenal event for the entire nation and not just Abu Dhabi. It greatly enhanced the appeal of Abu Dhabi as a must visit overseas destination. The museum garnered global attention and became an instant attraction for global as well as domestic visitors. This is anticipated to continue for several years in the future said Ghobash.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi museum was launched on November 11, 2017. This was owing to the close collaboration between governments of France and the UAE. It resulted in a hike of 32% of visitors from France in the month when compared with same period in 2016.
