Umm Al Quwain tourism department launches offers for frontline heroes

The Umm Al Quwain Tourism and Archaeology Department has announced exclusive offers for those registered with the Frontline Heroes Office (FHO) in the country.

These incentives will be offered for a period of six months starting November 17, 2020.

Several tourist and entertainment destinations in Umm Al Quwain launched programmes dedicated to frontline professionals, which include discounts for them and their families including at Flamingo Beach Hotel, The Pearl Hotel, the Royal Residence Resort Umm Al Quwain and Barracuda Beach Resort.

Frontline workers will also be provided with packages and discounts to Dreamland Water Park, Umm Al Quwain Marine Club, and Kite Beach Centre.

Meera Al Mehrezi, Director of the Tourism Department at the Umm Al Quwain Tourism and Archaeology Department, said that the decision to offer these incentives to frontline workers in the UAE was to demonstrate the tourism body’s appreciation for the efforts of these personnel in protecting the UAE community during the pandemic.

Frontline workers who can register with the FHO include healthcare practitioners, police, essential service providers, crisis managers, security and emergency service providers, humanitarian agencies, sterilisation personnel and volunteers.

Frontline heroes supporting the UAE’s response to Covid-19 can check with their employers to confirm that they are registered with the FHO.

In a similar initiative by another emirate’s tourism authority, the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) has said that frontline professionals would be allowed free access, along with up to three guests per person, to Qasr Al Hosn and Louvre Abu Dhabi.
