Sharjah si Dubai vor sa deschida reprezentante turistice in Romania

Emiratele, interesate de turismul romanesc

Ministrul turismului, Elena Udrea, a participat la unul dintre cele mai importante targuri de turism din Orientul Mijlociu, Arabian Travel Market, unde a luat decizia sa deschida o reprezentanta turistica a Ministerului Turismului in Emiratele Arabe Unite. Autoritatile de Turism din Sharjah si Dubai ar urma, la randul lor, sa deschida reprezentante in Romania si sa gaseasca mijloace concrete de colaborare in domeniul turismului.
Cu acest prilej, Elena Udrea s-a intalnit cu sefii Autoritatilor pentru Turism din emiratele Abu Dhabi, Dubai si Sharjah, cu adjunctul ministrului comertului exterior, Abdalla Saleh, precum si cu oameni de afaceri, potentiali investitori in industria turismului din Romania.
'La intalnirea pe care am avut-o cu oameni de afaceri emiratezi, acestia s-au aratat extrem de interesati de investitii in turismul balnear in jurul capitalei Bucuresti, precum si in turismul de Litoral. Un grup de potentiali investitori din zona Golfului Persic va vizita in acest sens Romania, la inceputul lunii iunie', a spus Elena Udrea. Aceasta avut si o intalnire cu reprezentanti ai companiei aeriene Emirates din Emiratele Arabe Unite, care vor examina posibilitatea de a introduce curse regulate aeriene catre Bucureşti.
In discutiile cu presedintele Autoritatii pentru Turism din Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoun Al Nahyan, demnitarul emiratez si-a exprimat disponibilitatea de a crea in cadrul guvernului sau un departament special pentru relatia cu Romania, al carui principal obiectiv va fi acela de dezvoltare a relatiilor bilaterale in domeniul turismului.
In timpul intalnirilor cu partenerii emiratezi, au fost discutate proiecte de investitii care ar putea fi realizate in Romania, cu participarea oamenilor de afaceri din Emiratele Arabe Unite si din zona adiacenta.(MT)
  

The Burj Al Arab (Arabic: برج العرب‎,Tower of the Arabs) is a luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. At 321 m (1,050 ft), it is the second tallest building in the world used exclusively as a hotel.^[2] However, the structure of the unfinished Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea is 9 m (30 ft) taller than the Burj Al Arab, and the Rose Tower, also in Dubai, topped Burj Al Arab's height at 333 m (1,090 ft), becoming the world's tallest hotel.^[3][4][5] The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 m (920 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. It is an iconic structure, designed to symbolize Dubai's urban transformation and to mimic the sail of a boat.
Construction of Burj Al Arab began in 1994. It was built to resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. Two "wings" spread in a V to form a vast "mast", while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium. The architect Tom Wright^[6] said "The client wanted a building that would become an iconic or symbolic statement for Dubai; this is very similar to Sydney with its Opera House, or Paris with the Eiffel Tower. It needed to be a building that would become synonymous with the name of the country."^[7]
The architect and engineering consultant for the project was Atkins, the United Kingdom's largest multidisciplinary consultancy. The hotel was built by South African construction contractor Murray & Roberts.^[8] The hotel cost US$650 million to build.^{[9]
Several features of the hotel required complex engineering feats to achieve. The hotel rests on an artificial island constructed 280 m (920 ft) offshore. To secure a foundation, the builders drove 230 40 m (130 ft) long concrete piles into the sand.[10]
Engineers created a surface layer of large rocks, which is circled with a concrete honeycomb pattern, which serves to protect the foundation from erosion. It took three years to reclaim the land from the sea, but less than three years to construct the building itself. The building contains over 70,000 m3 (2,500,000 cu ft) of concrete and 9,000 tonnes of steel.[10]
Inside the building, the atrium is 180 m (590 ft) tall.
Burj Al Arab characterises itself as the world's only "7-star" property, a designation considered by travel professionals to be hyperbole. All major travel guides and hotel rating systems have a 5-star maximum, which some hotels attempt to out-do by ascribing themselves "6-star" status. Yet according to the Burj Al Arab's official site, the hotel is a "5-star deluxe hotel". It is the world's tallest structure with a membrane facade and the world's tallest hotel (not including buildings with mixed use) and was the first 5-star hotel to surpass 305 m (1,000 ft) in height.}
