More than 10,000 staff members from 20 hotels located on Palm Jumeirah received their first and second doses of Covid-19 vaccine at their respective workplaces last month.
That is according to a new release from the Dubai Media Office (DMO).
The vaccination drive was initiated by the Dubai Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism) in coordination with the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) and hospitality stakeholders.
It is designed to combat Covid-19 and enhance the position of the emirate as tourism reopens around the world.
Since the city reopened its doors to domestic tourists in May and to international tourists in July, hotels have been following stringent health and safety guidelines, while also offering a hospitality experience to guests.
