Abu Dhabi\'s tourism camp underway

The fifth annual Tourism Youth Summer Camp series has got underway in Abu Dhabi. The event witnessed participation from over 60 Emirati students, all aged between 15 and 17. The programme was organised by Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA Dhabi) in conjunction with the European International College (EIC). Coming up over the next three weeks, the students will take part in workshops designed to boost their awareness of the tourism industry and its economic, social and environmental impacts; embark on field trips to better acquaint them with Abu Dhabi’s expanding tourism offering and participate in team building exercises to develop their interpersonal skills. Among the field trips scheduled are fact-finding visits to Yas Island’s assets, tours of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Zayed Centre, Abu Dhabi Pearl Journey, the St. Regis Saadiyat Island and the Manarat Al Saadiyat exhibition centre.
