Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT)

                  Located on an island in the Persian Gulf, Abu Dhabi is a popular destination for tourists. With 250 miles of coastline, four football stadiums, a vibrant art and music scene, world-class museums, myriad cultural sites, and the region’s largest exhibition center, it receives approximately 10 million visitors every year. Determining the exact number of tourists is more difficult than it sounds, however, and that job falls to the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT).

“With Informatica’s help, we’ve been able to leverage data to help enhance Abu Dhabi’s standing as a world-class city, while staying true to our cultural heritage.”
