ADNEC managing director and group CEO Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri was quoted by the website as saying: “The addition of these two iconic hotels will further support our ability to increase the direct and indirect economic contributions of the tourism sector in Abu Dhabi, as well as confirm its position as the region’s capital of the business tourism sector.”

Abu Dhabi is planning to host several events starting from February, and these events are expected to boost demand for hotel rooms.
