Tourism365 Recognised as Abu Dhabi’s Premier Destination Management Company

The tourism arm of ADNEC Group has received the World Travel Awards' accolade for leading destination management, reflecting a year of substantial growth and the delivery of seamless travel experiences across the emirate.

The measure of a destination’s success lies not merely in the number of visitors it receives, but in the quality and coherence of their experience from arrival to departure. Tourism365, the tourism arm of ADNEC Group, a Modon company, has been named Abu Dhabi’s Leading Destination Management Company 2026 at the World Travel Awards, an honour that speaks to the sophistication and seamlessness with which the organisation orchestrates every dimension of travel within the emirate.

The recognition crowns a year of remarkable expansion. During 2025, Tourism365 managed the experience, accommodation and transport of more than 330,000 travellers, whilst expanding its client base by 15 per cent. Amongst these journeys was a record 144,000 stopover passengers, visitors who discovered Abu Dhabi during transit and emerged with impressions of a destination of considerable depth and refinement.

The company’s approach to destination management reflects a philosophy of comprehensive care. Operating as a unified travel hub, Tourism365 provides destination management services encompassing accommodation, transportation and visitor experiences, enabling travellers to navigate their time in Abu Dhabi with ease and personalisation. The breadth of this offering extends across leisure and corporate travel, tour operations through brands including Capital Holidays Germany and Etihad Holidays UAE and GCC, allowing the organisation to orchestrate the entirety of the travel journey, from initial planning through to final delivery.

Central to this work is an understanding that each traveller arrives with distinct requirements and preferences. Tourism365 tailors its services accordingly, from specialised tours and corporate travel management to bespoke holiday packages, recognising that the most memorable journeys are those that reflect individual ambitions and desires. This customer-centric approach enables the company to serve a diverse constituency whilst maintaining the seamless, personalised quality that distinguishes remarkable travel experiences.

The World Travel Awards, now in their 33rd year, represent the travel and tourism industry’s most extensive recognition programme, spanning destinations, airlines, hotels, resorts, cruise operators and travel service providers across the globe. Winners emerge through votes cast by travel professionals, industry leaders and consumers worldwide, a process that ensures recognition reflects both expertise and genuine appreciation from those who know the sector intimately.

What it means for Abu Dhabi

Tourism365’s recognition underscores Abu Dhabi’s position as a destination that has evolved beyond the provision of singular attractions to offer a cohesive, expertly orchestrated travel experience. The company’s management of 330,000 travellers and its particular success with stopover passengers demonstrates how the emirate continues to develop its capacity to transform brief visits into meaningful encounters with its culture, landscape and hospitality.

This distinction also reflects the broader strength of Abu Dhabi’s tourism infrastructure and the partnerships that support it. As demonstrated in recent conversations between the Minister of Economy and Tourism and counterparts from leading global markets, the emirate’s tourism sector functions as a cornerstone of economic partnership and growth, welcoming visitors from across the world and creating employment and opportunity within the aviation, hospitality, transport and experience sectors that enable such growth.
