Our Commitment
Dubai's groundbreaking drive for sustainable development
As the world pivots towards embracing a greener future, Dubai’s tourism and hospitality sectors are supporting the city’s sustainability strategies, meeting international benchmarks and setting an exciting agenda for long-term economic development. Key to the industry’s strategy in this respect is meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030.
The Dubai Economic Agenda, D33 – which aims to double the size of Dubai’s economy while helping to establish it as one of the world’s most sustainable cities – is underpinned by 100 transformative projects that will reshape the way people live, work and invest in the emirate. The headline statistics are staggering and include economic targets of AED32 trillion over the next 10 years, doubling the city’s foreign trade to reach AED25.6 trillion and adding 400 cities as key trading partners over the next decade.
Launched in January 2023 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the D33 agenda positions tourism and Dubai’s fast-growing reputation as one of the world’s most liveable cities as core priorities. A stated goal of the agenda is to further consolidate Dubai’s position as a leading city for business and leisure by providing a globally competitive environment for economic sustainability and driving down the cost of doing business across a number of sectors.
