In the flourishing travel and tourism sector of Abu Dhabi, three Emirati women are making substantial contributions to the industry's prosperity. Amal Salah Al Barout and Lamia Abbas hold key positions at Miral Destinations, managing the iconic developments of Yas Island and Saadiyat Island. Meanwhile, Hind Galadari leads the operational activities at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi theme park.
Amal, with a decade and a half of experience in tourism and aviation, expressed her joy in promoting Abu Dhabi globally. She joined Miral in 2019 and has since taken on leadership roles, significantly impacting tourism projects. One of her career's highlights was hosting Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, an event she described as unforgettable and a source of immense pride.
Hind, with over 15 years in operations, is dedicated to advancing the theme parks and attractions sector in the region and guiding the next generation. She has been instrumental in launching a new theme park resort and managing significant national events, currently overseeing a unique theme park. Hind, the deputy general manager at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, takes pride in representing Emirati women as a leader in the industry both locally and internationally.
Lamia, having transitioned from the aviation industry to Miral, has worked extensively with influencers and celebrities, viewing challenges as opportunities for growth. She emphasizes that success is achieved through persistent effort and stepping out of one's comfort zone, a philosophy that has guided her career.
