Tour package aims to attract athletes, elite cyclists and sports tourists from different countries
Get ready to hit the road, cycling enthusiasts!
A new initiative by the Abu Dhabi Cycling Club aims to provide tour packages and programmes that will attract athletes, elite cyclists as well as sports tourists from all over the world.
Abu Dhabi Cycling Club has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Wilver, a leading European company in the field of sports tourism, to launch the tour package, which is in line with Abu Dhabi’s vision to introduce advanced sports tracks and facilities, as well as tourist, entertainment and hospitality places.
The move makes Abu Dhabi an even more attractive destination for travellers seeking cycling adventures, especially after the UAE capital received the “Bike City” label from the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).
Talal Al Hashemi, Executive Director of the Sports Development Sector at the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, applauded the new initiative, underlining its impact on sports tourism in the emirate.
“Our wise leadership is aware of the importance of sport and its pivotal role in public health and bringing people together,” said Al Nakhira Al Khaili, Executive Director of the Abu Dhabi Cycling Club.
“This is the culmination of a clear strategy for the position we aspire to reach.”
The initiative further strengthens Abu Dhabi’s growing reputation as a favourite destination of elite athletes and sports clubs from around the world. Among the world-class teams coming to Abu Dhabi this year are the NBA-powered US men’s national basketball team, which will play in tune-up games against the national teams of Greece and Germany in August.
