Sustainability Report 2024 | National Corporation for Tourism & Hotels

NCT&H Sustainability Report 2024 6 Message from our Chairman National Corporation for Tourism & Hotels’ strategic objective is to bring a new dimension of hotel luxury and style to the UAE capital. Our focus is to provide a unique mix of hotels and serving guests in keeping with the legendary Arabic reputation and expertise in line with Abu Dhabi’s strategic Economic Vision 2030. We feel the time is right for us to gear up for an expansion so that we are ready to take advantage of the opportunities when the economy bounces back. The tourism and hospitality business will be key drivers of Abu Dhabi’s growth in the years to come. We are dedicated to formulating sustainability strategies that foster both economic growth and social development. To achieve a sustainable balance in the economic dimension, our commitment involves enhancing the quality of our services and products to cater to the diverse needs of our customers. Societal contributions include promoting security by developing the skills of our employees, creating job opportunities, and distributing income for a sustainable community. In the environmental aspect, we pledge to conduct environmentally friendly operations at every stage and consider both short- and long- term environmental impacts throughout our supply chain. The challenges ahead demand continuous innovation and collaboration. We are committed to exploring new avenues, embracing emerging technologies, and engaging with stakeholders to enhance our sustainability practices further. The Middle East region has managed to cushion the effect of the global economic turbulence, due to the sound fundamentals of our economy and the commitment of the governments in the region to ensure a sustainable business friendly environment. NCT&H is well positioned to participate and reap the benefits in the future while creating consistent improvement in shareholders’ values and returns. On behalf of my fellow Board members, I express gratitude to Shareholders, public and private entities, Management, and Corporation employees for their ongoing trust and support. Our collective efforts go beyond establishing a robust business; we are actively contributing to a global environment where prosperity coexists with both environmental sustainability and social harmony.
