The Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA) is rolling out the red carpet for Indian corporate travellers with a new visa-free initiative.
Valid from July 2024 to March 2025, this initiative aims to boost Ras Al Khaimah’s appeal as a premier destination for Indian corporate events. To qualify for the complimentary visas, groups must book a minimum two-night stay in one of Ras Al Khaimah’s hotels and have at least 100 guests per night.
Aside from its 8,000 hotel rooms, business events venues include the Al Hamra International Exhibition & Conference Centre, which boasts a capacity of 3,000 attendees and 4,500m2 of flexible event space.
India is key to Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism growth plans, with the country consistently ranking among its top five visitor source markets worldwide. In 2023, the emirate recorded a 20 per cent increase in Indian visitor numbers, while business events revenue grew 23 per cent in the same year.
Getting to Ras Al Khaimah from India is also easier than ever, with direct flights from major Indian cities like Mumbai and Hyderabad with IndiGo. The emirate’s proximity to Dubai International Airport also ensures excellent connectivity.
Event organisers are encouraged to contact RAKTDA for more information and assistance in planning their events.
