Emerging UAE tourism destination, Ajman, has chosen the UK for its first overseas office.
It will be represented by Ian Scott’s company, Scott Marketing, which was set up in June of this year.
Scott spent eight years as the UK director for Dubai Tourism and more recently two years representing Dubai Parks and Resorts.
He has also worked with Trinidad and Tobago, Nassau Paradise Island, First Choice Holidays and Disney.
A 30-minute drive from Dubai airport, Ajman is emerging as a tourism destination in the region.
A number of hotels opened last year, including the~Oberoi Beach Resort, Al Zorah, the Radisson Blu Hotel Ajman, and the Wyndham Garden Ajman Corniche.
Visitors to the emirate can explore souqs and markets, a million square metres of mangrove forest and lagoons at the Al Zorah Nature Reserve, and the Ajman Museum, an 18th~century fort with artefacts and exhibits that offer an insight into the emirate’s culture and history.
Scott said: "The emirate of Ajman offers a great opportunity for the UK and Irish travel trade and I look forward to supporting our tour operator and travel agent partners, developing a deeper understanding of the destination.
"It is extremely exciting to be working with this amazing and lesser known emirate and to be able to utilise my contacts, experience and knowledge of the UAE having spent so many years representing Dubai."
