To ensure the efficient operation of the system, effective work is now being done to link several electronic systems, so that this service can be provided with minimal human intervention, and this pioneering project contributes to enhancing the global competitive leadership of Dubai in the fields of tourism and travel, levels of tourist experience, and increasing the number of International visitors.
