For the second consecutive year, the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital (ADFH) won the Middle East’s Responsible Tourism Award at the World Travel Awards 2014. These awards are acknowledged across the globe as the ultimate travel accolade and aim to celebrate brands that are pushing the boundaries of industry excellence.

 

Established by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) in 1999, the ADFH is internationally recognised for its commitment to the UAE’s culture and economy and for its contribution to biodiversity conservation. It has also become a popular award-winning tourism destination and is the largest falcon hospital in the world with an ever-increasing influx of patients.

 

Moreover, following a pilot project led by the ADFH, the Abu Dhabi Education Council has incorporated falcon and animal welfare topics into the school curriculum. This is a major milestone in ADFH’s efforts to raise awareness about falcons.
