The resolution stipulates that the ELS shall be created by Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) in coordination with relevant bodies. The TCA shall keep the licensing rights of these bodies.
No event may be organised in Abu Dhabi without a license issued through the ELS.
According to the resolution, the chairman of the TCA will form a committee to oversee the implementation of strategies and policies surrounding the coordination of events in Abu Dhabi between the relevant authorities, by providing support for necessary services and facilities, while enhancing the contribution of government, private sector, and relevant stakeholders when organising events in the emirate.
The resolution bans individuals and corporate bodies from using the words "Abu Dhabi", "Government" and "Brand Abu Dhabi" in any events before receiving the required approvals and licenses through the ELS.
The service will be applied to entities that organise and manage events across Abu Dhabi, which include those with dedicated spaces for hosting functions. Its scope also covers events held in tourism investment areas and free zones.
