Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi

When I worked at Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi, the culture sector was organized along the same four broad categories but elaborated especially in the dramatically greater attention given to heritage.

In the Global South they start with Heritage as a fundamental determinant of identity in a global world - and then move to the Arts. In the Global North (or the ‘West’), we start with the Arts and profoundly marginalize Heritage.
