Tourism, Entertainment & Real Estate
With the development of Abu Dhabi as an emerging hub for media, culture and entertainment, an enabling infrastructure across tourism, hospitality and real estate, has been established to support the growth of creative industries. The economic output of publishing, broadcasting, films and advertising is expected to grow at around 25 per cent annually in the Middle East. With Abu Dhabi’s proven ability to attract media talent and invest in world-class technology, the Emirate’s media sector is well positioned to supply advanced media services to both mature markets in Europe and fast-growing markets in South Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
