AWPR have become the first gold sponsor of the international event, a conference and supporting exhibition, which will be a forum for key tourism industry leaders from around the world to discuss the environmental challenges facing the industry and their commercial impact.

Work is already underway to transform the area on the outskirts of Al Ain city into a multibillion-dirham resort that will include luxury lodges, a 5 star, 200 room hotel and over 1,000 villas. Split into 3 zones, the 900 hectare project will allow visitors and guests to experience Arabian, North American and north Kenyan wildlife in a natural setting. Visitors are able to learn about more than 180 species of animals, 30% of which is considered endangered. Species of conservation action at AWPR include the Arabian Oryx, Scimitar-horned oryx, addax, Dhama and Mhorr gazelles, Arabian leopard, Sand cat, and African lion. Visitors to AWPR learn about these species in detail.
Dr Frederic Launay, CEO of AWPR said “The Al Ain Wildlife Park & Resort is creating a sustainable destination that aims to be an internationally renowned centre of excellence for wildlife and nature conservation, as well as eco-friendly living and learning. AWPR is an organization focused on bringing people in touch with nature. AWPR wants to instil within its visitors a deep appreciation and respect for the rich plant and animal biodiversity of world deserts. As Abu Dhabi’s culture and heritage springs from this wondrous environment, it provides a unique venue for environmentally conscious tourist. We are eager to affiliate ourselves with other like-minded organizations in the UAE and across the globe”.
