"This visitor service initiative will greatly enhance the tourist experience within Abu Dhabi emirate,"

said Saeed Al Dhaheri, Acting Visitor Information Manager, ADTA.

ADTA plans to have all the kiosks operating in five languages - with French, German and Russian capabilities being added - by the end of next year.
