The UAE Tourism Council recently discussed expanding the acceptance of the Jaywan card in hotels and tourist attractions across the country. This move aims to increase tourism spending and support local businesses by encouraging domestic tourism. The proposal also involves creating joint offers for residents and citizens, as well as collaborating with benefits programs like Esaad, Fazaa, and Al Saada.
The Council, chaired by Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, the Minister of Economy and Tourism, examined strategies to stimulate domestic tourism demand and make the UAE more attractive to its residents. These efforts align with the National Tourism Strategy 2031, which seeks to boost the tourism sector's contribution to the UAE's GDP to Dh450 billion by 2031.
The discussions also covered the development of the Visit UAE platform, aimed at promoting the country as a tourism destination and strengthening its presence in international markets.
