|All aboard in Abu Dhabi
The city's maritime tradition and recent popularity as a holiday destination will see more visitors take advantage of the warm waters of the Persian Gulf.
The Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) is busy planning next year's inaugural Abu Dhabi Yacht Show will take place in March.
It is hoped the event will rival similar events staged in Monaco and Antigua, with the ADTA working alongside Informa Yacht Group to make the show a success.
"Abu Dhabi has a strong maritime heritage and unrivalled opportunities for marine leisure with over 200 islands off its mainland shores," said Mubarak Al Muhairi, director general of the ADTA.
"These cultural and geographic strengths are now being enhanced by an increasing number of world-class marinas being planned by developers throughout the emirate. This is the right initiative and the right time and will help position Abu Dhabi as an international yachting destination."
