Today's article comes in light of the atmosphere of celebrating the National Day of Siblings in Bahrain, and after His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, launched a qualitative initiative that promotes domestic tourism and an integrated economy.

Perhaps one of the most important guarantees for the stability and supply of the tourism industry, especially since the numbers prove that the citizen and resident tourists in the country are among the most spending tourists, and the most interested in details, and a desire to enjoy with the family a beautiful atmosphere and a safe environment.

One of our most important national gains is our security and everyone’s confidence in the efficiency of police and security agencies and institutions, and therefore the last thing that may concern the family during its leave is to maintain its security and protect its members, and thus the family program is based on how to enjoy valuable time and well-deserved happy vacation.

Observing tourists' spending statistics, which are estimated at billions spent by a citizen or resident tourist while traveling outside the country, prompts us to emphasize the importance of analyzing the most attractive tourism programs for travelers, developing domestic tourism options, and developing programs and activities that are similar to, or even superior, preferred travel options.

Perhaps one of the advantages of the "Covid-19" pandemic is that we have re-examined our options and learned destinations and tourist sites that we would not have explored without the inability of travel.

Indeed, shopping options have changed and e-commerce has become the most preferred, and therefore domestic tourism may become the preferred option for the majority, especially for extended families and families with children, in order to preserve their safety, for starters.

In view of the presence of closer alternatives that do not require moving between continents and international borders, but are better, such as a climate in winter and safer and more secure options, this initiative requires brainstorming sessions and proposing specific initiatives for all segments of society to develop various activities, with a focus on marketing heritage and cultural activities.

We are fully confident that the young and ambitious Ministry of Economy team supported by local government tourism agencies and an elite group of private sector tourism makers and entrepreneurs, will achieve qualitative leaps enhanced by benchmarking and analysis of the most important lessons learned, and family services and packages serving families.

The state’s approach is to always exceed expectations and provide all the data that guarantee visitors an enjoyable and distinct vacation. One of the first distinct ideas that can be circulated, for example, is the “Tourist’s Happiness Card”, which enabled tourists coming through Dubai ports to obtain a free discount card and promotional offers provided by partners. Happiness Card »during their stay.

We may also witness other cultural performances that allow visiting various museums and exhibitions among the emirates of the country, and are not limited to one emirate without another, and scientific packages enhanced with recreational activities targeting our sons and daughters during their school holidays.

Also, some of the discerning of those present in the state resort to programming their vacations during travel and reserve their vacations throughout the country from a foreign country, because the tourist packages offered to the tourist coming from abroad, it is impossible to obtain them directly, if you go directly to the resort or hotel, where the traveler has booked a ticket and residence A wonderful hotel with an offer that sometimes cannot obtain half of its benefits and price for a resident tourist, which requires a reconsideration of the unfair treatment involved, and requires protection for the rights of the tourist in a way that enhances the experience of domestic tourism and provides it with a greater number that may reach all the residents of the state from families and individuals.

Let our tourist facilities be closer to the benefit of the neighbor, and rarely become famous for what we heard about Ein Adhari .. Water the distant.
