Hatta Resorts and its Wadi Hub is displaying its very best— from luxury glamping accommodations at Hatta Resorts, and thrilling Wadi Hub activities – at the ongoing Arabian Travel Market (ATM).
Known for glamping and its impressive line-up of exhilarating adventures amidst the picturesque natural landscape of the Hajar Mountains, the Hatta region is an all-rounded haven for a quick city escape.
As Dubai’s largest nature reserve, Hatta is a multi-faceted sustainable destination that has an undeniable appeal for those seeking to relax or to engage in their next thrilling adventure. With over 351,000 visitors from September 2023 to April 2024, Hatta Resorts and its Wadi Hub had a successful season welcoming guests from the UAE and across the globe — a remarkable 40.4% increase to last season’s figures. Visitors to the Hatta stand, located in the Department of Economy and Tourism pavilion, at the conference, can also expect an exploratory introduction to the resort through visual and sensory demonstrations highlighting the resort’s offerings from the perspective of travellers.
Promising additions
In alignment with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, the anticipated inauguration of an all-season Hatta Beach Project, and sustainable transportation systems will be promising additions to the tourism infrastructure. This includes a mountain tram system that will help increase even higher footfall to the Hatta Resorts and its wadi Hub destination.
These upcoming projects are set to provide visitors more accessibility to discover and experience the natural wonders Hatta has to offer. The region is also poised as the centre of local agricultural initiatives, such as highlighting the growth of the Hatta Honey Bee Discovery Centre and the soon-to-open Hatta Strawberry Farm.
Roudi Soubra, Vice President – Asset Management at Dubai Holding Hospitality Assets, said: “Hatta Resorts’ participation in the exhibition is the perfect gateway to showcase the ever-growing eco-tourism sector in Dubai and provide local and international trade professionals with a glimpse into Hatta Resorts’ glamping accommodations, outdoor adventure activities in the Wadi Hub as well as to Hatta Sign, which received a Guinness World Records title a few months ago. In collaboration with Dubai authorities and the local community, we also reinforce cultural experiences in historical sites and heritage villas, local agricultural projects, and other upcoming offerings around the region.”
Sustainable developments
“At the show, we are highlighting the sustainable developments set to enhance Hatta’s reputation as a top-tier travel destination, aligning with the Dubai 2040 Urban Plan, and the Hatta Master Development Plan,” Soubra added.
Hatta’s future plans are marked by sustainability, innovation and a commitment to preserving its natural beauty and cultural heritage. As it enters yet another season in October 2024, visitors and travel professionals alike can expect even more diverse range of experiences and attractions.-
