Dubai on Monday unveiled a major tourism drive aimed at establishing a dedicated recreational vehicle network to encourage road trips to the emirate's leading nature spots.
A host of RV stations, serviced parks and tailored experiences are to be launched to help connect visitors with Dubai's mountain, beach and desert landscapes. The project – to be led by Dubai Municipality – has been heralded as the region's first integrated RV route and will seek to champion a love of the great outdoors.
The municipality will develop the core infrastructure and issue the regulatory framework required to enable private-sector developers and operators to build, manage and operate RV routes and dedicated parks. Authorities have not said when the RV route will be opened and which destinations will be part of the scheme.
“The launch of the UAE’s first integrated RV route reflects Dubai Municipality’s commitment to developing innovative and sustainable tourism models that enhance quality of life and create new economic opportunities,” said Bader Anwahi, chief executive of the Public Facilities Agency at Dubai Municipality.
“By establishing the regulatory and infrastructure foundations for RV routes and parks, Dubai Municipality is enabling private-sector participation while offering residents and visitors new ways to experience Dubai’s natural environments through accessible, family-orientated outdoor destinations.”
The strategy will support Dubai's long-term efforts to cement its status as a global tourism hub, while shining a light on the emirate's natural treasures.
