ADNH expects the good performance to continue in the upcoming months in tandem with Abu Dhabi’s steadily booming economy as well as the large number of events and exhibitions scheduled in Abu Dhabi, such as F1. 

The company stated that the board’s well-defined strategy, the management and employee’s commitment, and the relentless support received from government bodies particularly Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) and Etihad Airways have also been instrumental in these achievements.
