Miral and SeaWorld Entertainment have announced their partnership to develop SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, a marine life theme park on Yas Island, by 2022. SeaWorld Abu Dhabi will also include the UAE's first marine life research, rescue, rehabilitation and return centre with facilities for the conservation of local marine life.
"Abu Dhabi is becoming a first choice destination for regional and global travellers by combining culture, heritage and unique leisure experiences into one compelling proposition. SeaWorld Abu Dhabi further strengthens Yas Island's position as a global tourism destination," said Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of Miral.
"This announcement reflects the emirate's ambition to create a sustainable, diversified economy, with tourism as one of its core pillars. Abu Dhabi continues to build sustainable partnerships that deliver on its strategic 2030 Vision."
Joel Manby, president and CEO of SeaWorld, said: "We are excited to announce our first international expansion and our partnership with Miral as we design a next generation SeaWorld that engages, educates and inspires. This new park continues SeaWorld's legacy of marine life rescue."
SeaWorld Abu Dhabi's research, rescue, rehabilitation and return centre on Yas Island will provide a state-of-the-art environment for researchers, scientists and marine conservationists to better understand and learn from the region's marine life habitats. It is planned to open ahead of the marine life theme park.
The addition of SeaWorld Abu Dhabi expands Miral's destination portfolio on Yas Island, which is set to double visitor numbers to 48 million by 2022.
SeaWorld Abu Dhabi is set to open by 2022 and will complement Miral's Yas Island destination portfolio of four theme parks, which includes Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld and the recently-announced Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi (opening in 2018) and Clymb.
