How many Hotels are there going to be on yas island?
There’s already at least six on the island that I can think of. Not sure how well the rooms are filling up, they seem to be doing a lot of deals with brunch and room at lower rates at the moment, but it is summer…
another projet that will eventually be sold to the abu dhabi govt. for peanuts!
Good, if you want people to visit yas island then this is what it takes, competition for tourist dollars are stiff.
you need to stand out above the crowd.
