Abu Dhabi Recently Allowed Farmhouses To Be Used As Vacation Rentals

Landlords and homeowners can now get multiple holiday house licenses for places like farms, trailers, and RVs.

Farmhouse owners may now apply for and get licenses from the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) to convert their real estate into vacation rentals.

The revision aims to broaden the range of lodging options in the emirate and open up new financial prospects for farm owners.

Recent actions by the Abu Dhabi Government have made it easier for farm owners to get licenses for economic operations, and this extension of the policy is consistent with these choices. Landlords and residential unit owners may now get more than one vacation home license for numerous units according to DCT Abu Dhabi's revised holiday houses policy, which now include farm stays, caravans, and recreational vehicles.

According to Saleh Mohamed Al Geziry, Director-General for Tourism at DCT Abu Dhabi, the extension of Abu Dhabi's vacation homes licensing policy to enable farmhouses to provide guests with lodging will assist both Abu Dhabi's hospitality and agritourism industries. Due to the increasing number of tourists visiting the emirate, it is crucial to keep providing them with memorable and environmentally friendly activities that showcase the country's culture and hospitality.

Owners of farms in Abu Dhabi may get help understanding the licensing system and registration requirements from DCT Abu Dhabi. The official website for DCT Abu Dhabi also has a detailed instruction manual explaining the process.

A six-month grace period has been granted to farmhouse owners to begin obtaining licenses for their properties; this is to ensure a smooth transition and prevent any fines.

New policy guidelines to authorize and support farmhouse tourism operations are being introduced by DCT Abu Dhabi, with the goal of encouraging farm owners to develop and foster Emirati-led, agritourism activities as a means of cultivating diversity and enrichment for visitors of all kinds.
