Abu Dhabi, the capital city of UAE, has welcomed qualified and experienced expatriates to work on its shores for years. Being home to nearly 9% of total oil reserves of the world, no doubt oil and gas are the main backbone of the economy and are the largest employer of foreign professionals in the city. However, now the focus is shifting to other sectors as well with tourism emerging as a prominent sector looking for skilled workforce. Tourism jobs in Abu Dhabi are constantly on the rise and there are good positions open across the aviation, hotel and restaurant industries.
The tourism portfolio of Abu Dhabi is increasingly expanding and a lot of domestic as well as international investment is being made in this sector. With such investments, it is emerging as an attractive destination for tourism jobs in Abu Dhabi. There is also a drive and effort on the part of the government to get more Emiratis to join the workforce. However, this has not lessened the demand for qualified foreign professionals in the tourism industry. By 2012, the tourism industry in Abu Dhabi aims to create around 47,700 jobs.
