Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is set to launch the “On & Off” (tourist bus) initiative next September, a new initiative that aims to attract residents and visitors to the emirate who are tourism pioneers to enjoy the most prominent tourist attractions in this vibrant city that never stops developing, shining and offering everything new in innovative ways that delight its residents, visitors and tourists who flock to it from all over the world..
In detail, Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of Public Transport Agency at the Roads and Transport Authority, said: “The Authority is always keen to support the tourism movement in the Emirate of Dubai, given its great importance in boosting the emirate’s economy and GDP due to the increasing numbers of tourists, visitors, businessmen and investors coming to Dubai from all over the world. This is due to the country’s security, safety, world-class services and solid infrastructure in all fields, including public transport and unique tourism services, in addition to the respect and appreciation enjoyed by tourists and visitors from all over the world.”.
