The tourism authority of UAE’s Ras Al Khaima is launching direct flights between Germany and the emirate.
Dutch leisure carrier Corendon Airlines will operate seven direct weekly flights to Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, in hopes to boost international tourism to the northern Emirate, known for its natural and cultural sites.
The RAK Tourism Development Authority said Germany is already in its top five tourism source markets, especially because of the five-hour flying time between the two destinations.
“As Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism vision gains momentum, working with valued trade partners and securing new airline alliances builds on this progress, and delivering additional tourism from three major German cities, marks another major step,” Raki Phillips, chief executive officer of RAKTDA, said in a statement.
He said RAK is a popular choice for German travellers especially during the winter.
“We look forward to welcoming more German visitors and encouraging them to embrace all that our emirate has to offer, from beaches to mountains, culture to adventure, and much more,” Phillips said.
The tourism-focused northern emirate is a critical part of the UAE’s aim to boost international tourism. It aims to be a “world-class destination for leisure and business travel,” with recent efforts to develop its tourism infrastructure.
