Sustainable tourism

Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority made an announcement at the 2022 Arabian Travel Market to mark it’s strategy towards growing and establishing the emirate as a leader in the region for sustainable tourism. Which is a major driving force to the emirate bouncing back to its pre-pandemic numbers.

The latest sustainable attractions to make the emirate it’s home is the Jais Sledder, the largest toboggan ride in the area with 1,840 thrilling meters of  twists and turns at speeds of 40 kilometres per hour, which turned up over 54,000 riders since its launch in February.
