The Ajman Tourism Development Department presented a statistical report on the performance of local tourism establishments in 2016 and 2017, which highlighted a growth in the tourism sector between 2016 and 2017, when local tourism establishments recorded overall earnings of over AED450 million, an increase of 11.7 percent while the number of hotel guests reached over 544,000.

During the meeting, the participants reviewed a report on the Ajman Municipality and Planning Department’s accelerators and related construction, as well as on its efforts to accelerate the progress of many local projects, such as plans for buildings and properties and digital transformation. The meeting also discussed a comprehensive urban planning project and a study on Ajman’s roads and transportation sector for 2030, that included key comprehensive urban plans and the development of the Ajman Transport Plan 2030. The meeting’s participants stressed the need to organise events that will promote sports tourism, to help develop the local tourism sector.
