PREFACE
To become a manager in future passing the theoretical subjects is not enough. The
subjects are the bases for our carrier from which we can strengthen our knowledge
to apply it in real world. The GCSR project provides the platform of opportunity to
know the current market situation, various factors affecting the industrial and
economic performance and the behavior of environment. It gives the opportunity
where we can apply the theory knowledge in real world and so that we can be a
successful manager in future. This changed the market structure, character and
focus of marketing strategies.
MBA is a course where unlike many other courses practical studies are
accompanied together with theoretical studies, case analysis and preparation of
various reports, giving presentations on various topics are a vital part of the practical
studies in this course.
The preparation of the GCSR is one such part of the practical studies here. For this
purpose we are required to select one particular topic related to a country or trade
and prepare a report through study research.
As the student of management it is learning experience to analyze a trade. It is the
most essential for us to expose our skill as a future responsible management post.

The UAE has one of the highest GDP's per head in the world. Although it is
still profoundly dependent on revenues from hydrocarbons, the UAE is
comparatively well insulated from periods of low oil prices due to successful
moves towards economic diversification, large foreign exchange reserves and
investments in foreign countries . The global economic crisis is being felt in
the UAE with a number of projects being either shelved or cancelled. There
have been redundancies across all sectors, and mainly in construction. The
lack of funds and credit, while mild as compared to Europe and the US is
beginning to have an effect.
Abu Dhabi has approximately 10% of the world's proven oil reserves and 5%
of the gas. The Emirate also has an impressive investment portfolio financed
from oil income. Dubai is different. Its hydrocarbon reserves are far more
limited, and therefore its economy is more diverse - based on a vision of
making Dubai the regions business, logistics, media & leisure hub. The
Northern Emirates fair less well, though Sharjah and Rasal Khaimah have
established themselves as bases for manufacturing and Fujairah is starting to
make more of its East Coast location. The Northern Emirates are to a greater
or lesser extent, dependent on Abu Dhabi and funds from the Federal
Government.

as a key manufacturing activity over the last 20 years as a result of the growth of
Dubai Aluminum, owned by the Dubai government.
Energy
In 1997, in response to the UAEs rising demand for electric power, coupled with
volatile swings in peak loads, the Abu Dhabi government formed the Privatization
Committee for the Water and Electricity Sector to assess the emirates energy
requirements and consider privatization as an option. This committee recommended
that Abu Dhabis water and electricity department be changed to a semi-autonomous
regulatory body, the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA), and that
the emirates power stations be partially or totally privatized. The privatization of
Services
According to the UAE government, the services sector (including financial
enterprises and government services) produced 43.1 percent of the gross domestic
product (GDP) in 2004and 40.4 percent of GDP in 2005. This sector employed more
than 1.4 million persons in 2004and almost 1.5 million in 2005, which is
approximately 60 percent of the total workforce.
Page 15
Education in UAE
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the Gulf States located in the Middle East. UAE
is primary an Islamic region and shares many of the educational procedures and
traditions of the other Gulf State Countries. UAE belong to the Arab Bureau of
schooling for the Gulf States which meets to discuss the Gulf State countries
curriculum and procedures. United Arab Emirates (UAE) public educational spending
is 27.43%, which ranks 7th in the world in spite of the high spending on education,
UAE has the lowly literacy rate out of all the Gulf States at 77.9%. Compared to the
United States rate of 99%, the UAE has a long way to go to match the educational
statistics of the western culture. The small overall literacy rate can be confusing due
to the majority of that rate being over the age of 25. The far above the ground
spending in education has paid off for the younger production, general public from
15-24 have a literacy rate of 97%, far better than the overall average rate of 77.9%.
Community education is free for male and female citizen children through university
level. The UAE has one of the lowly student-to-teacher ratios (15; 1) in the world.
Education is compulsory through the ninth grade, even if, according to the U.S.
sector of State, this requirement is not enforced.
Imports
Imports totaled US$80.2 billion in 2005 and are projected to increase to US$86
billion in 2006, US$94.6 billion in 2007, and US$104.1 billion in 2008. Principal
imports are machinery and electrical equipment, precious stones and precious
metals, and transport equipment. The principal source of UAE imports in 2005 was
Page 16
China (9.9 percent of the total). Other major countries of origin included the United
Kingdom, the United States, and India.
Exports
In 2005 UAE exports totaled US$126.5 billion; this number is projected to increase to
US$132.9 billion in 2006, as a result of record oil prices and the growth of non-oil
exports, and to US$137.3 billion in 2007 and US$143.7 billion in 2008. According to
official balance-of payments statistics, oil and gas exports account for almost 60
percent of the UAEs total export revenues (including re-exports). Non-oil sectors of
the economy contribute approximately 40percent of the countrys total exports. The
primary destinations of UAE exports in 2005 were Japan (26 percent of total
exports), South Korea, Thailand, and India.
India and United Arab Emirates (UAE) enjoy strong bonds of friendship which are
founded on millennia-old cultural, religious and economic intercourse between the
two regions. People-to-people contacts and barter trade between the two regions
have existed for centuries. The relationship flourished after the accession of H.H.
Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan as the Ruler of Abu Dhabi in 1966 and
subsequently with the creation of the UAE Federation in 1971. Both sides have
made sincere efforts to improve relations in all fields.
India has signed the following treaties with the UAE
Extradition Treaty, Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty in Criminal Matters & Mutual
Legal Assistance Treaty in Civil Matters: Signed in New Delhi in October, 1999
provide for Extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance in Civil and Criminal Matters
and came into force in May 2000.

7. SWOT Analysis
Strength
The UAE has one of the most tolerant trade regimes in the Gulf, and attracts
strong capital flows from across the region.
In general with most Gulf States, there are a high number of expatriate
workers at all levels of the economy, making up for the otherwise small
workforce.
Weakness
The UAES currency is peg to the dollar, giving it minimum control over
monetary policy and reducing its ability to tackle inflationary pressure.
Opportunities
The structure, tourism and financial sectors are growing rapidly, driven by
domestic and foreign Investment.
Threats
Some bottlenecks have been form in the construction sector and there is a
chance of delays in several high profile construction projects.
Page 19
8. PESTEL Analysis
. Political analysis
The UAE government is considered to have a steady policy-making agenda.
The country is also one of the first Gulf countries to have conducted partial elections
in the region. However, the absence of democratic institutions and weak relations
with Iran now pose problems for the government.
Economic analysis
The state budget surpluses that the UAE enjoys have been driven by high oil
prices; two-thirds of the UAEs fiscal revenues are accrued from oil and gas sales.
The government's high degree of dependence on exports of these resources for its
revenues makes it vulnerable to oil price movements, and it has realized that in the
long term more reliable sources of tax revenues will be required. The economy's
overdependence on oil revenues is now causing the government to be concerned
about future sustainability.
Social analysis
The country has a low level of unemployment and an abundance of semiskilled youth workers for its labor markets. However, low literacy and a lack of proper
facilities for education are dogging the social system. Furthermore, the government's
expenditure on coaching is low.
Technological analysis
The country has a strong telecommunication network with state-of-the-art
technologies. As a result, it is attracting entrants to its IT market at a rapidly
increasing pace. However, poor science education and a lack of R&D facilities are a
hindrance to technological development.
Legal analysis
Page 20
The UAE is one of the few tax-free zones in the world, with virtually no tax
laws in the country, and the country has also improved its policy towards the
industrial sector. However, the federations company ownership laws still act as a
hurdle to foreign direct investment (FDI) flows and continuous government
interference in business affairs can stifle the performance of businesses in the
country.
Environmental analysis
The country has a strong integrated environmental development program,
with supporting economic policies. Its ecological procedures are integrated with the
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) program, which is part of business practice
in the UAE. However, the increasing level of emissions is still a concern, with the
country being one of the largest producers of oil in the world.

MICRO ANALYSIS OF
INDUSTRY/SECTOR
OF UNITED ARAB
EMIRATES
Page 22
By far the biggest deposits of oil in the Emirates have been found in Abu Dhabi. The
emirate controls more than 85 per cent of the UAEs oil output capacity and more
than 90 per cent of its reserves. As oil exports began in the late 1950s and early
1960s, it was still a largely undeveloped desert emirate inhabited by nomads, pearl
divers and fishermen. The rulers fort was the only building of substance on Abu
Dhabi island, the site of the city today. There were no roads or basic amenities.
Expatriate workers from Bahrain or Kuwait where the petroleum industry was much
more advanced were flown in on small aircraft which landed on runways of
flattened sand mixed with oil. In 1966, when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan
became ruler, there were fewer than 20,000 people living in Abu Dhabi.
The UAE along with other GCC nations have undertaken significant expansion
projects in order to increase production capacity and maintain market stability. The
UAE continues to significantly increase its production to supply the global energy
markets. While some OPEC nations and many non-OPEC nations have seen
production declines over the last five years, the UAE has increased its total
production of crude oil by approximately 31 percent.
Page 23
UAE does not have huge gas reserves hence the exports of gas are less then
consumption. Most of the gas produced is natural and is used mainly for internal
consumption. Internal consumption has increased at a CAGR of 9% from 2001 to
2008. Increasing industrialization, population and building construction sector are the
key drivers for this growth. Exports have decreased mainly due to increase in
internal consumption and extreme competition which UAE faces with Qatar and Iran.
UAE continues to identify new projects in the upstream oil and gas sector which aims
to boost the nation's crude oil production capacity to nearly 4 million barrels per day
by 2020, which would amount to an additional increase of approximately 40 percent
over current production levels.
Under the UAE's constitution, each emirate controls its own oil production and
resource development. Dubai Petroleum Company (DPC) is the main upstream
operator in Dubai. The state owned Dubai Natural Gas Company (DUGAS) is
responsible for processing natural gas produced in Dubai's offshore oil fields as well
Page 24
as the gas pipes from Sharjah. The second main producer is Abu Dhabi Marine
Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO).
ADNOC is the leading company in UAE producing maximum oil in the region
based out of Abu Dhabi giving it is oil rich status.
ADNOC has a range of almost 14 companies refining oil and manufacturing
petroleum products under it. Players like Enoc, Japan Oil, Exxon Mobil as fast
growing companies which are making their mark in manufacturing quality products
and increasing the exports of the country.
This system is capable of supplying more than 300 million cubic feet of gas per day
and has the capacity to meet all customers' needs well into the 21st century.
UAE has maintained its strong hold in oil exports capitalizing on its huge reserves.
Increasing industrialization, inflow of industries, increase in automotive traffic etc has
led to increase in internal consumption of oil as well. Oil consumption has grown at a
CAGR of 8% from 2001 to 2008. Growth in exports has been more or less constant
and there has seen a steady increase of 1 - 2 % year on year where 2003 and 2006
saw high increases of 14% and 8% respectively. Financial crisis in 2008 lead to
decline in oil prices and had an adverse impact on the exports resulting in a decline.
Page 25
The Rs 1,200-crore GACL has asked the foreign player to conduct a market survey
to assess the demand for caustic-chlorine products in the UAE.
The GACL officials were in Dubai recently to take this further. The UAE-based entity
had approached GACL seeking its co-operation to establish a caustic soda
manufacturing plant in the UAE. Currently, a market survey is being carried out on
the type of ancillary industries present there and the requirement of caustic and
chlorine in the UAE, sources close to the development told Business Standard.
They said the nature of collaboration would be finalised only after the results of the
survey were out. The market survey is likely to take around four months. While the
name of the group is not known, it is a leading business houses with operations in
the UAE. GACL is also said to be open to the idea of joining hands with the foreign
player.
UAE with roughly 8% of the global resources and oil to last for 100 years is definitely
at an enviable position. Given the high global demand for energy and supply and
Page 26
UAE economy has been in a state of boom of the past eight years with the GDP
recording double growth rates in each successive year. Despite largely successful
efforts at economic diversification, nearly 40% of GDP is directly based on oil and
gas output. A number of challenges face the UAE, some relating to the oil industry
itself, and others concerning the economic management of the oil wealth. Aside from
the need for a large capital infusion into the industry, UAE has the additional
challenge of using the sector as a vehicle for increasing intraregional trade. The
most important challenge, however, lies in designing appropriate macroeconomic
policies to ensure that the oil wealth is managed effectively.
The oil market this year in 2009 has been strongly impacted by the financial crisis,
global recession and resulting erosion in world oil demand. These factors have
substantially magnified the uncertainties affecting the market and contributed
significantly to volatility.
The UAE's anti-crisis stimulus measures as a percentage of (GDP) are the largest
among global emerging markets and is set to boost liquidity. The UAE Central Bank
has put in place two support packages worth Dh120 bn and has also guaranteed
bank deposits and allowed lenders to perform dirham-dollar swaps. The Abu Dhabi
Government pumped about Dh16 bn into a recapitalization exercise involving five
banks. These measures constitute about 16% of the country's 2008 GDP. Measures
taken by bank, positive signs of economic recovery and the recent surge in oil prices
due to OPEC production cuts has contributed to reviving investor confidence. This
coupled with increased demand of oil and gas from developing economies is set to
give an optimistic look to the UAE oil and gas sector. World oil consumption is
expected to rise for the first time in two years in 2010 as a recovery in the global
economy boosts demand. As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, the
outlook for the UAE economy is very positive and this scenario is likely to continue in
the foreseeable future.

Dubai is set to reinforce its position as the world's third largest diamond trading hub
with the value of 2011 trading set to surpass the $35 billion mark achieved in 2010,
Ahmed bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman of Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, or
DMCC, said on Monday. From $20 billion in 2009, the value of Dubai's vibrant
diamond trade rose to $35 billion in 2010, and this year it is poised to scale new
highs, bin Sulayem said at a press briefing to announce the 8th Dubai City of Gold.
Dubai hosts inaugural pearl auction
Dozens of containers filled with pearls sat in rows on a long line of tables while more
than 100 buyers from 20 countries milled about. The auction, which featured pearls
ranging in color from champagne to steel-grey, was a low-key affair held at the Dubai
Multi Commodities Centre; no gavels, no frantic bids, just the sound of pearls
clinking against each other and muted chatter. The atmosphere, however, belied the
true weight of the business being conducted.

Dubai, Angola explore opportunities to promote diamond trade
Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) announced on Sunday that it has begun
exploring opportunities to strengthen ties with Angola in the area of diamond trade.
Dubai's delegation, comprising Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman of DMCC,
Peter Meeus, Chairman of Dubai Diamond Exchange and Paul Motmans, an expert
on the Angolan economy, met with senior government officials of Angola at a highprofile dinner meeting in Luanda, Angloa, earlier this month.

A giant rough diamond mined from South Africa, and expected to be snapped up by
a local buyer, was named in Dubai yesterday. The diamond, a 478-carat white gem,
measuring more than five centimeters long and worth upwards of Dh36.7 million
(US$10m) was named after the Lesotho mine where it was uncovered in December:
the Leseli La Letseng, or Light of Letseng. It is the 20th largest diamond in the world.
"The naming of what could become the largest-ever polished round diamond is
another.
Dubai colored stones market shows strong growth potential
The colored stones market is set to expand faster than other jewellery categories in
the next five years, according to a new survey released yesterday by the Dubai
Gems Club (DGC), a subsidiary of the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC).
The findings of the survey were released at the ICA International Gem Fair 2008, the
region's first dedicated colored stones trade show, being held in Dubai this week.

The Dubai Pearl Exchange, a subsidiary of the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre
(DMCC), announced that it would host the first-ever World Pearl Forum, with the
objective of bringing together the global pearl sector, and addressing ways to grow
the worldwide market for pearl jewellery. The initiative, sponsored by Dubai World, is
in accordance with DMCC's continuing effort to revitalize the global pearl trade, and
build on Dubai's historic status as the pearl centre of the Gulf.
Dubai's rough diamond trade reaches US$3.03bn in first half 2008
Dubai's total trade of rough diamonds increased by 36% to reach US$3.03bn at the
end of the first six months of 2008, according to Dubai Diamond Exchange (DDE), a
subsidiary of the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC). During the first six
months of 2008, rough diamond imports to the Emirate grew by 23% to reach
US$1.15bn from US$937m, during the same period in 2007. This was mainly driven
by high volumes imported from Angola (75%), and a 138% rise in imports from
China.

Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) and the Thai Gem and Jewellery Traders
Association (TGJTA) signed an agreement Wednesday, making TGJTA the first

the industrial production and 17% of the countrys total earnings export. Textile
industry is the second-largest employment generating industry in both rural and
areas urban, after the agriculture industry.
The vast pool of skilled and workers unskilled, availability of labor at low costs,
strong base for production of the raw materials characterize the textile in India.

The UAE depends heavily on imports to fill the gap between limited
domestic food production and demand from a growing people base.
Despite attempts to increase local production of food products in recent
years the UAE still imports 85 to 90 per cent of its total food requirements.
Dubais dream is to establish a world class food safety that provides safe food to
the residents and the several millions that Emirate each year.
The food industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a highly competitive one. It
has been valued by some as being worth US$ 2.8 billion. Inside this growing food
Parul Institute of Management and Research - 792
Page 50
industry is the biscuit promote, which is important as it worth US$ 500 million. The
annual per capital consumption of biscuit in the UAE is a whopping 6 kg. Tiffany
Foods Ltd. is the market manager of the biscuit industry in the UAE. Tiffany Foods
Ltd. was established in 1989 as a family owned private limited company. The UAE
population can be categorized into three main types of people: The local Arabs, The
expat Arabs, The Expats.
As can be seen these three groups each have unique preferences as far as biscuits
are concerned. The affluent local Arabs wish to indulge themselves with luxury, while
the Expats (migrant workers) - the majority of whom belong to the lower rungs of the
economic ladder - prefer practicality and the expat Arabs take a sort of middle-of-theroad approach. This divergence between the populace is the reason for the
existence of the three market segments of the UAE biscuit industry: Dry biscuits,
Cream biscuits, Premium biscuits. The only approach then to capture the biscuit
market is by participating in all the three of the market segments. However, this is
not simple thing for any business to do as there are varying specific 1requirements
for each of these market segments.
Given this scenario, multiple businesses will prevail by specializing and finding niche
areas within the biscuit market (e.g. McVitie's concentrates on producing only
digestive biscuits - a type of premium biscuit). But Tiffany Foods Ltd. has been able
develop its status as a subsidiary of the conglomerate called IFFCO, to contribute in
all the segments of the biscuit market. This has therefore caused Tiffany Foods Ltd.
to be the market manager for almost two decades now. However, with the entry of
Nutro, a supplementary of Indian biscuit giant Britannia, Tiffany Foods Ltd.'s position
as the market manager is being threatened. Nutro is aggressively promote their new
products and want to become the market leaders in the Dry and Cream categories.

Introduction of IFFCO

Petrochemical Cluster
The Supreme Petroleum Council (SPC) was established in 1988 as the superior
authority responsible fort he petroleum industry in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. The
Ruler of Abu Dhabi chairs SPC that formulates and oversees the implementation of
Abu Dhabi's petroleum policy and follows up its implementation across all areas of
the petroleum industry through Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), its
National Oil Company
Abu Dhabi has the worlds fourth largest oil reserves (97.8 thousands million barrels)
and 5th largest natural gas reserves 6 trillion cubic meters (BP, 2011). The evolution
of oil and gas industry in Abu Dhabi is illustrated in the above Figure. It started with
the first concession that was awarded to Petroleum Development (Trucial Coast) on
11th January 1939, a non-national company, but geological work and exploratory
drilling started in February 1950, the first commercial oil discovery was made on
1960 at Bab oil field, and the first shipment of crude was exported from Jebel
Dhanna terminal in 1963 prior to the formation of the federation of the United Arab
Emirates. In 1971 The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) was established
Parul Institute of Management and Research - 792
Page 88
as the State Owned Enterprise in charge of all oil, gas, petrochemical and
associated industries. The early 1980s, has witnessed the creation of Ruwais
Refinery, Fertil (fertilers) and International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) for
undertaking international investment in oil and gas assets. For more than a decade
long from 1985 to 1998, Abu Dhabi did not undertake any major oil and gas
investments other than upgrading and refurbishment existing facilities. It took Abu
Dhabi more than four decades to embark on its first down stream petrochemical
investment through Abu Dhabi Polymers Company (Borouge) which sits at the
center of the petrochemical cluster (refer to Figure-21).

cluster. UAE location supports growth in the emerging Asian markets, while local
market consumption is still very limited compared to the European region. The
following section details the competitiveness drivers and.
Factor Conditions
Feedstock
Ethylene is the main building block for petrochemical industries, which is produced
from a variety of feedstock that determines petrochemical cost structure and industry
margins. Naphtha is the main feedstock used in Europe and Asia produced from
refineries and offers higher proportion of co-products e.g. propylene and butadiene,
which benzene can be extracted from. However, Abu Dhabi as well as other
producers in GCC region generate ethylene from gases such as ethane, propane
and butane; a process that does not require a refinery (but it limits the proportion of
co-products) which give Abu Dhabi and GCC countries a cost advantage for setting
up petrochemical facilities over other regions. Ethane prices are linked to
international prices of oil. However, it is difficult to for Abu Dhabi and GCC countries
to determine the actual cost of ethane exactly as it is integrated with the upstream oil
and gas sectors.
The ethane price in Abu Dhabi is estimated at around $1.5/MMBTU compared to
$0.75/MMBTU in Saudi Arabia, $1/MMBTU in Kuwait, $1.5/MMBTU in Qatar (Diwan,
2009). Regionally, Abu Dhabi has no cost advantage over ethane feedstock.
However it has very significant cost advantage over Western Europe and USA by a
factor of 3. The ethylene cost of production from ethane in Abu Dhabi is not known,
but it should be little higher than Saudi Arabia ($114/ton) and Qatar ($170/ton), and
remains superior over other regions where prices stand at above $400/ton (Diwan,
2009). Propylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) cost structure is derived form
cracking processes where cost advantage could be gained from close proximity to
markets and efficient operations that could be of stretch for state owned enterprises.
Therefore, the competitiveness of Abu Dhabi comes mainly from cracking
inexpensive ethane but as well as location due to its close proximity to growing
markets in Asia. Although Abu Dhabi has the worlds fourth largest oil reserves and
fifth largest natural gas reserves, it became a net importer of gas in 2007 due to high
Parul Institute of Management and Research - 792
Page 90
increase of demand for electricity which is fully generated from gas fired power
plants as shown in the below figure. The country has experienced feed gas shortage
at power plants that led to electricity blackouts mainly in northern emirates while the
capital city Abu Dhabi was saved by the arrival of Qatari gas through Dolphin
Pipeline Project. Recently during summer 2011 and another energy crisis unfolded
as the northern emirates experienced shortage of gasoline at the pumping stations
that signals limited coordination between petroleum industry and other industries.
The growing economy, increase of population and highly subsidized utilities caused
domestic oil and natural gas consumption to rise 685,000 b/d and 60.5 billion cubic
meters respectively in 2010 as shown in Figure. The demand for electricity in Abu
Dhabi will increase by 12% per annum reaching 22,356 MW by 2020 from a baseline
figure of 6,885MW. Consequently, power generation feed gas demand will increase
from 563,432 million cubic feet to 1,539,729 million cubic feet (ADWEC, 2011). The
UAE also has become among the top ten countries consuming electricity in the world
at a rate of 12,000 kwh per capita according to World Bank Indicators (WB, 2012),
and it has recorded the largest per capita ecological footprint globally of (10.68
gha/person) according to Global Footprint Network (GFN, 2010).
Page 91
require increase in oil production. Abu Dhabi however progressed ahead with
several projects to increase oil production up to 3.5 million b/d up from 2.8 million b/d
enabling an increase in gas production from 51 billion cubic meter to 77 billion cubic
meters by 2020 (Krane, 2010).
Company Profile
Borouges headquarters is situated in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore and
employs approximately 1600 people representing more than 40 nationalities and
serves customers in more than 50 countries across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific,
Indian sub-continent and Africa.
In 2010 Borouge has tripled its annual production capacity in Abu Dhabi to 2 million
tones and an additional 2.5 million tonnes per year will be introduced by mid-2014 to
create the worlds largest integrated polyolefins plant in a single site. Once Borouge
project come on stream in mid-2014, Borouge total production capacity will reach to
the 4.5 million tonnes per year.
Page 92
Borouge is also investing in plants and logistics hubs in Asia and a state of the art
Innovation Centre in Abu Dhabi. Borouge is Focused on value Creation through
Innovation, Borouge ensure that its customers throughout the value chain, around
the world, can always rely on superior products and security of supply.
The planned Chemaweyaat complex, which Abu Dhabi hopes that it will be the
worlds largest petrochemical complex, will include an olefins plant, an aromatics
complex and a range of downstream polymer and chemicals units. It is due to enter
production in 2015, but BMI believes that 2016 is more realistic. The first part of the
development, Tacaamol, will use heavy naphtha feed for its aromatics units and a
lighter naphtha feed to supply a mixed-feed cracker producing 1.5mn tpa ethylene
and 690,000tpa propylene. These will feed downstream plants producing polymers,

forecasts/views:
- By 2016, BMI expects ethylene capacity of 5mn tpa in the UAE, up from an

period.
- Key issues that will have an impact on the market include the effect of spreads
between naphtha and ethane and the strength of Chinese market. While ethane may
be cheaper, the heavy use of naphtha in its feedstock mix will put the UAE in a better
position than Qatar and Saudi Arabia as it attempts to diversify downstream
production.
Parul Institute of Management and Research - 792

- In BMIs Middle Eastern petrochemicals risk/reward ratings (RRRs) matrix, the UAE
registers a score of 63.7 points, unchanged since the previous quarter. This quarter,
the UAE remains in 2nd place, 2.9 points ahead of Kuwait and 13.9 points behind the
regional leader Saudi Arabia. Whether the UAE retains its position will depend on its
ability to stay ahead of Qatar in country risk ratings, coupled with the further
expansion of Borouge in 2013 and the proposed Chemaweyaat which is set to
bolster its petrochemicals capacity.
UAE enjoys close economic and cultural relations with India. Close maritime contact
between India and the Arabian peninsula date back to 3rd and 2nd millennium
BC. and textile and spice trade between the two countries flourished during most of 1
millennium AD.
The discovery of oil allowed the UAE to increase and diversify its trade relations with
India. In 2008-09, India emerged as the largest trade partner of the UAE with
bilateral trade between the two countries exceeding US$44.5 billion. During the first
half of 2010, non-oil trade between India and the UAE stood at US$20.4 billion. UAE
is home to more than 1.75 million Indian expatriates, making Indians the second
largest ethnic group in the Arab nation.
Oman India Fertiliser Company (OMIFCO) is an India-Oman joint venture
established to construct, own and operate a modern world scale two-train ammoniaurea fertilizer manufacturing plant (production capacity of 1,750 tonnes per day) at
the Sur Industrial Estate in the Sultanate of Oman. The Government of India has
agreed to purchase OMIFCOs entire urea output under a 15-year Urea Off Take
Agreement on predetermined prices, while the Sultanate of Oman has committed to
supply the gas feedstock for the life of the project. The project is mainly focused on
producing urea (annual capacity of 1.63million metric tons) andammonia (1.15
million metric tons).Shareholders in OMIFCO are Oman Oil Company (50%), Krishak
Bharati Cooperative Limited (25%) and Indian Farmers Fertilizers Cooperative
(25%).

The Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad) spread over 417 sq km near Abu
Dhabi is eager to attract Indian companies in metals, petrochemicals and
pharmaceuticals sector for setting up their units.
Kizad, which is a part of Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) and controlled by the
UAE Government, is offering a series of sops including complete income tax and
customs duty holiday, 50 year-long bankable agreements, zero restriction profit
repatriation and power tariffs at Rs 1.80 a unit to the companies.
Industry sources said that Kizad management, which is doing its road shows in
Mumbai for promoting the zone, have already held preliminary talks with two of the
largest industrial groups in India for setting up their units there.
Kizad is located between Abu Dhabi and Dubai and in close proximity to the Khalifa
deepwater seaport. The industrial zone is currently offering sea, air and road
connectivity, while rail network is under construction.
Mr Khaled Salmeen, Executive Vice-President of Industrial Zones at ADPC, told
mediapersons on Wednesday that Kizad is a cornerstone of the Abu Dhabi's
economic vision 2030, which aims at diversifying the economy and making it less
dependent on revenues from oils and gas business.
In 2008, our economy was $104 billion and by 2030 we want to grow it to $416
billion, where manufacturing would be an important component of the economy,
Mr Salmeen said.
Kizad's phase I, which is spread over 51 sq km has already been launched with an
investment of about $7.2 billion. Foreign companies can set up units with the help of
joint ventures or they could set up their own 100 per cent subsidiary.
Mr Salmeen added that Kizad has already tied up with HSBC for debt financing and
it is also in the process of tying up with Indian banks for the same.

In the Middle East, UAE is the largest outbound travel market in terms of expe
nditureand the second largest in terms of the number of outbound trips after Saudi
Arabia.
Summer vacations in UAE are much anticipated. During this three month period
(June end to September first week), Emirates look for countries which can offer them
a holiday destination to relax, rejuvenate and give them respite from the scorching
heat in their country. European and Far East destination are the most preferred, as
the massive amounts of bulk bookings with travel operators suggest.

LAW OF UAE TOURISM
The UAE Ministry of published research that stated 72 per cent of expats in the UAE
lack knowledge of local customs and traditions. In addition, only one-third of the
2,000 respondents surveyed said they to set aside any time to find out more about
local culture.
This kind of complacency, according to the article, results in Many expats enduring
court trials, facing social embarrassment and suffering a long list of inconveniences
simply due to not knowing the rules. Ignorance of the countrys moral boundaries is
resulting in an increase in incidents of expats falling foul of the law.
Emirates 24|7 listed ten rules that have often cropped up in cases where expats
have claimed ignorance of the law, but not escaped its effects.
No kissing, no touching
If you have been residing in the UAE for a while, you might already have figured it
out. Holding hands may be OK, but kissing and petting is not. Expect a tap on your
shoulder or a correcting finger reminding you to abide by the local customs,
deeming this behaviour inappropriate.
Page 117
Page 118
Strictly speaking sharing a private space with a member of the opposite sex when
not related by family ties or marriage is forbidden. Private space would be a house,
room, hotel room and even car.
Certain behaviour is tolerated. Hotel reservations are easily made for unmarried
couples wanting to share a room and there are many cases of single men and
women sharing a villa, apartment and even a room. Any punishment depends on the
situation.
No indecent clothing
Another way the UAE decency law may affect the unsuspecting resident is by the
guidelines it puts on clothing. Summer heat may tempt you to pull out the most exotic
outfit . Visitors have to parade and mingle in the place where its all about the looks.
Wrong again.
In public places, guidelines say shorts and skirts need to be of appropriate length not
to indecently expose parts of the body, be transparent, or display obscene or
offensive pictures and slogans. On beaches rules are more lenient; swimwear is
accepted but should be appropriate. Top-less sunbathing or the wearing of a thong is
not allowed.
Entry Regulations

number of states in Europe and elsewhere (including Australia and New Zealand)
can get a free entry permit stamped in their passport upon arrival, good for up to 90
days.

Present Trade of tourism affects GDP in UAE & INDIA
The report also said that the industry brought USD52.7 billion to the Gulf state's
gross domestic product in 2012, expecting the figure to increase by 3.2 percent this
year.
The data released by the WTTC also showed that one in nine of all jobs in the
country are resulting from the industry, which beats the global average of one in 11
jobs.
Travel and tourism has created a total of 383,500 jobs in the UAE in 2012 and is
expected to further rise by 2.6 percent to 393,500 jobs this year, compared with a
global expected increase of 1.7 percent, the data showed.
WTTC said that USD22.54 billion or almost 23 percent of the country's total
investment last year, was injected into the industry in 2012, and the amount is
expected to rise by 12 percent in 2013.
It is worth noting that the UAE is expected to receive a total of 25.8 million tourists

ANALYSIS
UAE is worth noting that the UAE is expected to receive a total of 25.8 million
tourists over the next 10 years, generating visitor expenditure of USD56.4 billion, an
increase of 5 percent per annum.
INDIA highlights that Travel & Tourism is a significant source of export revenue for
India.
In 2011, visitor exports totaled INR950 billion which was 12% of all service exports
and 3.9% of all exports.
Thus, The UAE Tourism growing faster than Indian Tourism Industry. UAEs tourism
Industry contributed more amounts of revenue in GDP rather than of India.
Present Position and Trend of Tourism with UAE &INDIA
Page 123
Tourist arrivals in the UAE are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% between
2012 and 2022, with hotel supply also expected to increase from the current
96,992 hotel rooms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, to a total of 125,383 hotel rooms
in 2016.
The emirate of Dubai continues to build on impressive performance levels. In
November 2012, year-to-date occupancy of 80% was up 2% on 2011
according to Ernst & Youngs 2012 Middle East Hotel Benchmark Survey.
Dubai International Airport, which is currently ranked the fourth busiest airport
in the world in terms of international passengers, recorded total passenger
traffic in the first 11 months of 2012 at 52.3 million travellers, up 13.1%
against 2011, with passenger numbers forecast to reach 56.5 million in 2012,
and 98 million by 2020.
Abu Dhabi has recorded similarly buoyant figures with 2012 another record
year according to the Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu
Dhabi), which revealed that in 2012 it welcomed 2.3 million hotel guests to the
emirates hotels and hotel apartments, representing a 13% rise on 2011
figures. Hotel revenues for the same period also increased by 6% to US$
1.261 billion.
The tourism plans to position itself as nature-focused tourism destinations are
gaining momentum by 2021, the emirate expects around 20% of its GDP to
be generated by tourism-related activities. The northern emirate is aiming to
10,000 rooms by 2016 with a US$218 million commitment to tourism
development from the government.
Future Aspects of UAE tourism
Dubai Shopping Festival Gives a big boost to UAE Tourism
DSF (Dubai Shopping Festival) 2013 promise a lot of entertainment programs and
events for their visitors. There are numerous programs that have been organized for
different segment of people. Special efforts have been taken to ensure that every
Parul Institute of Management and Research - 792
Page 124
guest is well taken care of throughout their visit to the festival. This is because of
their impressive and exclusive festival ideas people around the ball eagerly wait for
celebrating this festival. Dubai got the name as the city of gold during an awareness
campaign held at the Dubai Shopping festival. The establishment of Dubai invites
many celebrities and esteemed people all over the world. It was at this time, when
this festival was called as Dubai Shopping Festival. At that time they had come up
with an unusual idea of global village. Through this festival the authorities exhibit the
culture and styles of Dubai. Such was the success of this festival that the authorities
to an oath to organize this festival every year. This festival has attracted many
visitors crossways the world and is best known for their hospitality.
This festival is known to be the most successful and main entertainment and
shopping programs that are conducted every year.
programs this festival also plays a essential part in the development of tourism in
Dubai. It also boosts the economic condition of the country. Large number of tourists
has been increasing every year, and it has been productively providing a platform for
international talents to exhibit their skills. Not only that the tourist also gets an
opportunity to feel the luxury and culture of the country.

India export 147 million caret diamond in last year by kiran export
India and Dubai trade relation is good but need to more government support
from the Indian government
Ddamas and gitanjali group develop the stage to sells a diamond jewellery in
the India
Damas have so many contracts with the different country big jewellery sell
UAE government also help to diamond trade policy and help to organise a
diamond trade fair in the country
In the UAE trade of diamond is positive because so many shop and particular
jweri market and also 3rd largest diamond jewellery seller in the world
Without kp certificate diamond trade is un legal and take action against the
person trade diamond
D'damas is one of the most popular jewellery brand in the country today with a
presence in over 159 towns
Page 127
Furthermore, the point to consider is that without any bilateral ties and agreement,
facilitating trade and commerce presents a mockery of itself. Hence, the measure
undertaken by both nations in terms of policy that is effective to one another have
had a close share to boost economic relationship between India and UAE in the
current state of affairs.
Page 128
Thus, what we can finally conclude at this point is the fact that such development
is good for the global economy, as well as the national economy of both trading
nations.
Emirati usually travels with the extendedfamily their requirements are also
large family, their requirements are also large sized, including multiple room
s or suites and a mini bus or voyager to travel in comfort.
UAE and India for long have enjoyed close and friendly ties based o
n historic and
cultural ties. Today UAE and India share political, economical and cultural li
nks. A large
Indian expatriate community resides in UAE. All these factors make India a
well known
country for the residents of UAE.The distance between India and UAE is very
less UAE to India very convenient.
As per whole kind of data what we find it and after that researched on UAE
Tourism we can say that as per India & UAE both are required to support to
developments in their Tourism sector with the well collaboration through so
which achieve a such level of better tours & travel system providing in the
future. & Many opportunist to the business in future UAE & India in Tourism
sector.
After this whole project report through we learnt and knew that regarding both
the country's Tourism system. How it differs by structure and policy wise, try
to build one good relation between two countries and keep relation for more
various support in different sector.
