They will promote investment in it and participate in international tourism and investment fairs organised on their territory. The Memorandum also focuses on stimulating initiatives for the promotion of cultural and historical monuments for the bilateral development of cultural tourism.

Bulgaria and the UAE will also exchange information and experience in the administration of hotels and resorts, in the organisation of training programs and techniques for training personnel in tourism, in the collection of tourism data and statistics, in the licensing of tourist facilities, as well as in the development of health tourism.

The two countries will also deepen their cooperation in the framework of international forums and international formations such as the UN World Tourism Organisation, etc.
