WOW Resorts and Marriott International have collaborated to launch a luxury resort and residential development on Al Marjan Island, one of the region’s most preferred tourism and investment destinations in Ras Al Khaimah. The project will be developed under the luxury brand, JW Marriott.

Research released today confirms that the strong performance from Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates is behind the Middle East tourism industry’s full recovery from the pandemic. The WTM Global Travel Report, in association with Tourism Economics, is published to mark the opening of this year’s WTM London, the world’s most influential travel and tourism event.

The Emirate is the first destination in the Middle East to be awarded EarthCheck Sustainable Destinations Silver Certification, and only one of the few globally. Silver Certification reinforces Ras Al Khaimah’s ambition to become the UAE’s and the region’s sustainable tourism leader by 2025. Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority launched its own certification program for Ras Al Khaimah tourism partners, Responsible RAK, powered by EarthCheck’s science and data
