Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC) was created to manage the development of real estate assets held by the government of Abu Dhabi, through the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA), who´s primary objective is to increase tourist and business visitor numbers.

Through the identification, development, positioning and creation of unique destinations and experiences, TDIC´s goal is to work together with the public and private sectors to develop a sustainable tourism portfolio which embraces all aspects of Abu Dhabi´s heritage and culture while protecting its natural resources.

TDIC develops strategic partnerships with brand leaders to focus on delivering quality-driven service and products at all stages of project management, from initial design recommendations through to international marketing plans.

One of TDIC´s key projects is the creation of one of the Desert Islands destination in the Western region of Abu Dhabi.

The Desert Islands will be developed around the islands of Sir Bani Yas and Dalma and focus on authentic sustainable tourism. The project will provide educational resources and job opportunities for locals, empowering them to take part in the growing tourism industry on and off the islands.
