He called for organizing the work of adventure tourism companies, and setting controls and laws for them, in light of the high number of lost people or those in need of rescue. He also suggested training their workers on the standards and requirements of climbing in the emirate, and appointing a leader for every 10 people, with the aim of making the trip safe.
