Abu Dhabi, August 29: Restaurants and night clubs, which are part of hotels in Abu Dhabi, will be granted entertainment licences within 24 hours of applying online from next week.
Licensing officials from the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) said the initiative will reduce the workload of the previous manual system.
“The online system, which can also process the necessary licence fee payments, is the result of 18 months of design, implementation and training,” said Nasser Al Reyami, director of tourism standards at ADTA.
“Its introduction is in line with our five-year strategy commitment to enhance sector standardisation and improve our stakeholder service,” he added. ADTA has already held a series of workshops to train outlet managers on the online system.
