ABU DHABI, 23 January (BelTA - Emirates News Agency) - With steady
momentum toward the top, the UAE has not only positioned tourism as a
powerful economic engine but has transformed it into a global benchmark
for sustainability and innovation.
Anchored in its strategic vision to diversify the economy and attract investment, the UAE has led far-reaching technological transformations that have redefined the tourism landscape. Companies have competed to harness advanced technologies to deliver high-value tourism offerings, firmly establishing the UAE as a leading destination at the forefront of global competitiveness and leadership.
The UAE continues to consolidate its leadership in deploying advanced technologies and artificial intelligence across the tourism and hospitality sector, reinforcing its status as an innovative, digitally advanced global destination. It was among the first countries in the region to adopt digital solutions that enhanced operational efficiency across sectors, while consistently ranking at the top of regional and global digital competitiveness indices - driven by world-class infrastructure and extensive fiber-optic networks spanning most of the country.
Tourism in the UAE is built on advanced digital infrastructure, with sector companies leveraging artificial intelligence and smart technologies to enhance the visitor journey - from booking and mobility to service delivery and personalisation. The country has further strengthened its position as a hub for startups and digital enterprises by combining a large and diverse customer base with advanced digital infrastructure that accelerates business scalability, while embedding global best practices in innovation and digital transformation.
The UAE has capitalised on this infrastructure to enhance visitor experiences through fast, seamless services such as smart visas and digitised facilities, more efficient visitor-flow management enabled by advanced transport systems, and real-time data access for travelers. Together, these capabilities have reinforced the UAE’s position as a global hub for innovative tourism, supported by sustained investments in technology and telecommunications.
The tourism sector is witnessing growing adoption of digital services, smart guest personalisation, advanced data analytics, intelligent check-in processes, and mobile-based service delivery. Smart platforms are also being used to promote tourism through official channels such as Visit Abu Dhabi, Visit Dubai, Visit Sharjah, Visit Ajman, and Visit Ras Al Khaimah, contributing to improved visitor experiences and stronger tourism performance.
