Educational Tourism
Today, governments are increasingly focusing on education as a basically integral component of tourism attraction. Education is currently taking the form of a tourist product that is capable of attracting students searching for knowledge and science. The government of Abu Dhabi adopts a long-term educational outlook which aims at making Abu Dhabi the science and research hub in the region. The emirate's plan in this sector can be summarized as follows: help opening branches for globally-known universities locally, support entering into twinning programs (between local universities and global ones), providing IT-specialized schools, building research centers, arts and music institutes, among other ducational facilities to be built. With this plan successfully accomplished and carried out in upcoming years, Abu Dhabi will be truly the regional hub for education and knowledge.
