UNITED ARAB EMIRATES REJOINS UN WORLD TOURISM ORGANIZATIONNew York,
May 7 2013 12:00PMThe United Arab Emirates (UAE) has rejoined the
United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) after 26 years of
having left the entity, it was announced today.

"The UAE play a central role not only in the development of tourism in
the region but also in linking the Middle East with other regions and
we expect that by working together we will enhance tourism within and
to the Emirates as well as increase regional cooperation," said the
UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai at the UNWTO & Arabian Travel
Market Ministerial Forum on Tourism and Aviation in Dubai.

In a news release, UNWTO said it will work with UAW on several
initiatives including the measurement of the economic impact of
tourism, statistics and human resources development.

The Middle East is one of the fastest growing tourism regions in the
world. According to the UNWTO, between 1980 and 2010, international
tourist arrivals in the Middle East rose from 7.1 million to 60.9
million. This represents an average annual increase of 7.4 per cent,
which is higher that the world's average of 4.2 per cent.

Mr. Rifai said that tourism in the region continued to grow despite
the countless challenges it faced. "Much of this dynamism has been led
by the strong political commitment awarded to tourism in the region
and the vision that tourism is a key pillar of development in the
Middle East of which the UAE is a perfect example," he said.

UNWTO estimates that tourism growth in the Middle East is set to
continue, with arrivals expected to reach 149 million by 2030.May 7
