Transforming Into a Truly Accessible City
Dubai’s goal of becoming ‘a City Without Barriers’ for People of Determination as well as the ultimate destination for them is becoming a reality.
HE Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM), said: “Inspired by the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and guided by the objectives of the D33 Agenda, Dubai is committed to advancing with distinctive world-class infrastructure, experiences, and attractions.
Dubai has embraced a forward-thinking approach to disability inclusion. Through initiatives like the National Policy for Empowering People of Determination, individuals with disabilities are not only recognised for their achievements but also empowered to contribute meaningfully to society.
Dubai, the ever-consolidating global travel, tourism and business hub, has been making significant strides in ensuring accessibility across its world class infrastructure, best-in-class public transportation and globally-famed landmark tourist attractions.
The emirate is ensuring that People of Determination remains an active part of its thriving society and enjoy everything of their liking with ease and freedom.
Today, the world’s fourth most-visited tourist destination is focused on strengthening and enhancing the role and participation of People of Determination in education, work, transport, and sustainable development. The emirate is taking extreme positive measures in the medical, social and economic areas for the benefit of persons with disabilities.
