Al Rasasimah also indicated that the continued growth in the number of licenses issued for tourism hospitality facilities and the number of licensed rooms is driven by the Ministry of Tourism's efforts to enable operators and investors in the hospitality sector to obtain licenses, promote the commitment of hospitality facilities to licensing and classification standards, and ensure their compliance with the requirements and conditions set by the Tourism Law and its regulations.
