n is heading for Seoul this week to take part in the country’s leading travel trade fair KOFTA as the emirate records double-digit growth in the number of Koreans now staying in its hotels and hotel apartments.
“In the first four months of this year 16% more Korean hotel guests stayed in Abu Dhabi accommodation than over the same period last year which is a trend we are eager to build on,” said Mubarak Al Nuaimi, International Promotions Manager, TCA Abu Dhabi. “With the UAE seeing expanding trade links with Korea, the potential for spreading the word of what the emirate has to offer visitors is significant and needs to be accessed.”
From January until the end of April this year some 5,509 Koreans stayed in Abu Dhabi’s hotels and hotel apartments.
“In Seoul we are also planning a presentation dinner for Korea’s top 40 outbound tour operators when, together with our stakeholders, we will be outlining all that’s new in Abu Dhabi for visitors to see and do,” added Al Nuaimi.
