In partnership with the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA), ADNH will also promote the UAE's fast-maturing hospitality sector during the leading international tourism and travel event.

Commenting on ADNH's participation at WTM 2007, Al Hajeri said:

"We are joining forces with the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority in highlighting the tourism attractions of the UAE, and Abu Dhabi in particular. There are several tourism-related projects that are currently underway in Abu Dhabi that will boost high-end tourism in the emirate."

ADNH is currently developing six new world class hotels in the UAE. Two of the most prestigious and unique projects in Abu Dhabi are the JW Marriott Resort & Spa and Park Hyatt in Saadiyat Island. Both are expected to open by 2010. ADNH will also develop a business hotel that is slated for completion by late 2011 at Abu Dhabi's Capital Centre.

In the northern emirates, ADNH will open two new hotels before the end of the year - Al Diar Barsha Hotel Apartments in Dubai and Siji Hotel Apartments in Fujairah. Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach Hotel is also slated to open early 2009.
