These achievements were highlighted during a meeting of the Arab Ministerial Council for Tourism in Cairo, where representatives from the UAE discussed the role of tourism in boosting economic growth in the Arab world. The UAE emphasized the importance of tourism not only for economic reasons but also for cultural exchange and preserving Arab heritage.

The council talked about challenges in the tourism sector, like political issues, and discussed how to improve tourism within Arab countries. They also looked at how tourism can contribute more to the economy, create jobs, and help cities grow by building tourist and residential areas.

One of the key topics was a plan to create a regional tourism initiative called "Arab Tourism Region," to make Arab countries more attractive to tourists. The UAE is working hard to stay competitive in the tourism industry, in line with its Tourism Strategy 2031, which aims to make the country a global leader in tourism.
The UAE's efforts to improve its hospitality sector are helping strengthen its position as a top tourist destination.
