UAE woos Emiratis into tourism sector - The National

Rafia Al Ameemi is a rare sight in a UAE hotel. One of just a handful of Emiratis in the country interacting with tourists, she is at the front desk of one of the country's most famous landmarks, the Burj Al Arab.

She knows her decision to go into hospitality is unusual, and even unpopular, but says the job makes her proud as an ambassador of her country.

Ms Al Ameemi has just graduated from the Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management where she gained her postgraduate certificate in hospitality operations, and earned an associate degree.
