Tourism Authority of Dubai

The Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) is the principal authority for the planning, supervision, development and marketing of tourism in Abu Dhabi. We also market and promote the emirate’s commerce sector, and are responsible for the licensing and classification of all tourism services, including hotels establishments, tour operators, travel agents, and all other tourism services.

We’re committed to strengthening the Dubai economy through attracting tourists, inward investment into the emirate and delivering Dubai’s tourism vision for 2020, which includes welcoming 20 million visitors per year by 2020. DTCM has played a pivotal role in Abu Dhabi’s rise to prominence as one of the world’s leading tourism destinations, welcoming more than 10 million visitors in 2012 and 11 million in 2013. In addition to its headquarters in Abu Dhabi, DTCM operates 20 offices worldwide. - See more at: http://www.dubaitourism.ae/en/Department-Of-Tourism_new/About-DTCM#sthash.kmtTftVu.dpuf
