Dubai continues to lead in sustainable tourism with initiatives like Dubai CAN, a citywide campaign promoting eco-friendly practices, water conservation, and reduced plastic usage. This initiative aligns with Dubai’s commitment to responsible tourism, encouraging both residents and visitors to adopt sustainable habits while exploring the city.
