India sustained its ranking as the second-largest international source market for Abu Dhabi's hotels after the UK, a new data has revealed.
Hotel guests from India to the UAE capital registered 45 per cent rise to 10,924, delivering 37,559 guest nights, which was up 17 per cent month-on-month, according to the latest figures released by the Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority.
The number of guests at Abu Dhabi's 127 hotels, apartments and resorts rose 29 per cent in January this year compared to the same month last year, it said. "We are hopeful of further improving on arrivals from India, having recently hosted a major inbound familiarisation trip for a delegation from the Travel Agents Association of India, staged a five-city road show throughout the republic and completed a highly successful showing at the SATTE travel air in New Delhi," Mubarak Al Muhairi, Director General, Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority, said.
