The incline of the exponential tourism sector in UAE towards the augmented concept of sustainable tourism has brought forward various reforms and systematised development. The United Arab Emirates is amongst the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and it looks forward to building tourist destinations that would draw responsible travellers, encourage eco- friendly behaviours, and preserve their natural and cultural legacy for succeeding generations by incorporating sustainable tourism. The desert surrounded economy is nicknamed as the Gulf Tiger due to its rapid growth and development in the region, especially in the tourist sector.

Its further stresses on the effective employment of the limited natural environment in the country and government reforms concerning growth of eco-tourism.
