Abu Dhabi, the largest of the seven emirates comprising UAE, is expecting a 30 per cent increase in Indian arrivals this year by hard selling its business and leisure destination proposition after setting up its office in New Delhi.

“We expect not less then 30 per cent increase in Indian arrivals in 2013. In 2012, over 125 thousand visitors from India visited Abu Dhabi,” Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA) Abu Dhabi International Promotions Manager Mubarak Rashed Al Nuaimi told PTI.

This will be done by focussing on the leisure and meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) segments, he added.

Al Nuaimi was speaking on sidelines of the opening of destination promotion office in India that aims to tap the high potential Indian market.

In 2012, over 125,000 visitors from India stayed in the hotels and hotel apartments in Abu Dhabi accounting for 496,581 guest nights.

“Should growth trends for the UK and India continue as they have been for the past twelve months, there is every likelihood that India will be Abu Dhabi’s largest overseas source market for hotel guests in 2014,” Al Nuaimi said.
