Officers are put through specialised training courses to help them perform their duties and ensure the security of tourists and visitors from the UAE and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Iyad Rasbey, RAKTDA\u2019s Executive Director of Destination Tourism Development &amp; MICE, explained that government support in Ras Al Khaimah was the leading enabler that allowed the tourism sector to reach its advanced position and establish RAK as the capital of Gulf tourism for two years straight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeographic, historical, and heritage diversity in Ras Al Khaimah and its variety of world-class hotels and resorts played a big part in making it an important destination for tourists from the UAE and the world,\u201d Rasbey added. \u201cThe 20,000 visitors to Ras Al Khaimah during the Eid Al-Adha holiday are proof of that. The professionalism and efficiency exhibited in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic helped strengthen tourism security in the Emirate as it gradually reopens its vital tourism sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAverage hotel occupancy rate in RAK was estimated at nearly 60% since the beginning of 2020, and is expected to rise further by October, especially as flights to and from various countries are launched via the Ras Al Khaimah Airport International,\u201d he revealed, stressing the importance of collaboration between RAKTDA and the RAK Police General HQ \u2013 and the Traffic and Patrols, and the Tourist Police Departments, in particular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Al Ain Alsahera (the Watchful Eye) Radio programme dedicated its ninth episode to highlight the Tourist Police Department and the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA), exploring their role in supporting the sector and promoting the Emirate on the local, regional, and global tourism map.
