The Board of Abu Dhabi Tourism '&' Culture Authority held its inaugural meeting yesterday under the Chairmanship of Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan. The Board named Mubarak Al Muhairi as Director General of the new authority. He comes to the post after seven years at Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority.

Abu Dhabi Tourism '&' Culture Authority was established recently under a law issued by the President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in his capacity as the Ruler of Abu Dhabi. The Authority's objective is to preserve, protect and manage the emirate's cultural heritage and leverage it as the core driver of the emirate's tourism development and promotion.

"The Board agreed that in Mubarak Al Muhairi the new authority has a proven leader who sets the tone of an organisation by example and has a wealth of experience in both the tourism and culture sectors," said Sheikh Sultan.

The Board also authorised an audit of the assets and facilities of the former Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority and Abu Dhabi Authority For Culture '&' Heritage ahead of the implementation of an integration action plan. "We are looking to deliver a seamless transition into a unified body that will bring additional synergy to the delivery of enhanced product and services across a number of segments," said Sheikh Sultan. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
