A 30-strong delegation of top outbound tour operators has been sampling Abu Dhabi and its hospitality in a joint Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) and Etihad Airways’ promotional initiative. The delegation, which includes tour operators from Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu, has taken in the emirate’s latest attractions, toured a number of the destination’s newly-opened hotels and resorts, visited the Liwa Desert and its magnificent Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort & Spa, toured the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, the iconic Emirates Palace and Yas Viceroy hotels, and took in the award-winning Yas Links golf course and Yas Marina Circuit.
