Highlighting this year’s International Women’s Day through the eyes of a female Emirati tourism pioneer, LEGOLAND Dubai Resort management was delighted to invite Aida al Busaidy, to head an inspirational session dedicated to the resort female employees, best known as ‘model citizens’, presenting more than 19 countries spanned across three continents. During the session, Aida, one of the highest profile Emirati communicators for the past two decades, has emphasized the common challenges that women face in their personal or professional lives around the world and shared effective inspirational tips and recommendations to overcome such obstacles – which were very well received by the crowd. Furthermore, Al Bosaidy encouraged all female ‘model citizens’ to believe in their abilities, follow their goals and most importantly take care of their health and wellbeing as every woman plays a major role in her community’s development and growth. Aida has also emphasized the confidence of the UAE leadership in the abilities and potential of women and how the UAE, home for more than 200 nationalities, has become a global leader in gender balance in all aspects of the society.

Assumed multiple roles at Dubai Economy & Tourism for past decade and currently holding the role of Associate Vice President of Consumer Advocacy, Aida Al Busaidy takes part in Dubai’s continued success, marking its position as a global hub for economy and tourism, under the leadership of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

The International Women’s Day celebration held at LEGOLAND Hotel was attended by more than 80 female model citizens who expressed their gratitude to the inspiring Emirati female leader, for her strong, motivational and empowering messages that were eye openers to many of them. Showing support and appreciation to their female colleagues, many male model citizens attended this special event on the day as well.
