The standard licence includes a visa quota of 6 residency visas, with options to increase this number as your team grows. Premier financial hub further enhances the appeal of DIFC for adventure tourism professionals. Furthermore, zero tax for 50 years positions your adventure tourism business for long-term success in the region. With Dubai continuing to invest in infrastructure and business-friendly regulation, DIFC remains an excellent choice for both start-ups and established tourism enterprises looking to expand into the Middle East and North Africa region.
