KOCHI: Abu Dhabi Week showcasing the tourist attractions of Abu Dhabi curated by the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi, began in Kochi on Friday. The three-day event positions Abu Dhabi as a destination for vacations, leisure travel, and weddings. The festival will commence in Kolkata from February 23.
Speaking about the week, Mubarak Al Nuaimi, Director, Promotions and Overseas Offices, Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi, said, “Owing to the growing levels of disposable income in the hands of Indian travellers, we believe that India is a crucial market with a potential to expand the tourism inflow into Abu Dhabi. It therefore becomes imperative to educate people about everything that Abu Dhabi has to offer, and re-shape notions regarding its cost heaviness.”
The three-day event at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium offers an experiential mix of culture, art, entertainment and sports to visitors. The show also offers a virtual tour of Abu Dhabi city in its grandeur and variety of interactive experiences including life-like encounters of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Desert Safari, and a glimpse of the majestic Louvre Abu Dhabi.
