Mohamed Ali Al Noman, chairman of the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority, or SCTDA, has underscored the importance of public-private sector partnership in tourism sector, saying such a partnership has already contributed to the development of quality tourism product of Sharjah and strengthened its position as a pioneering and distinguished tourist destination in the region.
This came during Al Noman’s recent visit to the new Hotel 72 By Hues.

While the hotel occupancy rate shot up above 70 per cent in the first quarter of this year, it had crossed more than 90 per cent during special events like the Sharjah Light Festival,” said Al Noman.
He noted the remarkable developments and paradigm shift in the hospitality industry witnessed in the emirate in recent years and the quality of services offered.
