TDIC

TDIC – Tourism Development & Investment Company's philosophy is based on delivering best practice across every segment in which it operates – whether it be luxurious desert resorts, nature-based tourism destinations, world class cultural hubs or mixed-use urban redevelopments. Each TDIC project is designed to live up to the company's core values of environmental sustainability, progressive partnerships, cultural stewardship and enhancement and socio-economic viability. These core values have impacted a range of projects throughout the emirate. These include the creation of mangrove rehabilitation and replanting nurseries, the sealing of multi-million-dollar joint ventures with leading Middle Eastern investors, the creation of Saadiyat Island's world-renowned Cultural District to the staging of a vocational training centre for the population of Dalma Island. In delivering on these core values, TDIC, and its private sector partners, are assisting Abu Dhabi in its goal of becoming a truly international destination of distinction. A destination which respects everyone and everything and where the values of the past enrich the present and shape the future.
