UAE - A leader in Tourism Jobs

There is another great news for those looking for jobs overseas as after Lebanon and Gulf, UAE is hiring too. Tourism authority has forecasted that UAE will lead the world in creating tourism economy employment. As predicted by World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), it is expected to generate 5.7% annual growth in travel and tourism related employment between 2010 and 2020 which is the fastest in the world.

The contribution of travel and tourism to UAE's GDP is expected to grow from 16.6% in 2010 to 21.7% by 2020 according to WTTC. It will clock an annual rate of around 8% to grow its travel and tourism economy GDP the fastest in next 10 years.

With a 4.7% growth rate during the same period, GCC peer Qatar is ranked ninth on the list.

It is one of the best Gulf cities for expatriates to work in as it offers excellent lifestyle and huge number of jobs that keep growing. According to a recent report, the industrial sector of Abu Dhabi has become a major contributor to the emirate’s economy.

The industries in Abu Dhabi are working on making it a regional industrial hub and this seems to be happening soon. The industrial sector of the city has added more than $12 billion (Dh44bn) to the emirate’s GDP and there are several projects planned to probably double the figure. It was announced at the first session of Abu Dhabi Economic Forum by Mohammad Al Qamzi, CEO of the Higher Corporation for Specialized Economic Zones that a five-year strategy to support the industrial sector of the capital has been drawn. Al Qamzi facilitates investment in the city while completing licensing procedures for industrial institutions. He added that the new trends see licensing of industries related to building materials in addition to providing infrastructural support. This would help meet the needs and demands of local markets for the next seven years as well as of the investors for better functioning of the industrial climate.
