New tourism and culture authority for Abu Dhabi has been established. The establishment of the authority is aimed at preserving, protecting and managing the cultural heritage of the emirate, and promoting the development of tourism in the emirate. The authority is part of a plan to develop tourism in Abu Dhabi, where the local heritage is considered to be the pivot of tourism development.
The authority will regulate the tourism sector and monitor its activities through development of a set of policies, standards and plans related to hotels, exhibitions and other tourist facilities and tour guides in order to attract tourism investment in Abu Dhabi. The authority will achieve this by convening and organising conferences, exhibitions and festivals, and will issue licences for such activities. It will also set up and manage a centre for information on tourism in the emirate.
The authority shall frame policies, plans and programmes 
related to preservation of heritage and culture, and work to implement them with the aim of protecting archaeological sites. It will also plan and implement programmes for explorations in the field of archaeology and the establishment and development of museums. The authority will render support to intellectual and artistic activities and cultural events and will assist the parties involved in the protection, management and promotion of cultural heritage.
