WORLD Green Tourism Abu Dhabi, the international conference and exhibition being held in the UAE capital in November, has won the patronage of Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, chairman of Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority.
Sheikh Sultan, a noted promoter of sustainability practices, will also deliver the opening address at the inaugural event which will be held at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Adnec) from November 22 to 24. “We in Abu Dhabi are building an industry to make a difference on a number of levels – economically, to our social fabric and to the reservation of our cultural heritage and natural assets – in short, we are working not just for immediate benefits, but for the future.
“We are ensuring the efforts of today are sustained for the long-term and this event will help ensure our initiatives are recognised and replicated across the public and private sectors in Abu Dhabi, regionally and across the globe. We also recognise that we still have much to learn and the presence of so many industry leaders will offer valuable insight to help us achieve our goals,” said Sheikh Sultan.
