Sharjah: A Premier Tourist Destination
HE Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, Chairman of the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (SCTDA), said: “Sharjah stands as one of the leading tourist destinations for visitors from the UAE and the region, renowned for its diverse eco-tourism, cultural, and adventure attractions, as well as its shopping and entertainment offerings. This new summer campaign aims to solidify Sharjah’s status as a premier destination for the season. Furthermore, we aim to showcase to visitors from the UAE and beyond the exceptional summer experiences, events, and unique tourist options that Sharjah has to offer.”
Boosting Regional Tourism
Al Midfa added: “The campaign responds to the global shift towards regional tourism, with Sharjah being a global example of this trend in recent years. From July to September 2019 – 2023, the UAE led in guest arrivals at its destinations during the summer season, followed by India, Oman, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. The emirate’s hotel establishments also recorded over four million guest nights. In collaboration with the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) and different strategic partners within the emirate, we aim to further increase guest numbers, enhancing the tourism sector’s role in inclusive development and economic diversification, and creating an ideal environment for business growth and investments.”
