ABU
DHABI, United Arab Emirates, April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ethara, the organiser of the
Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2024 is gearing up to
deliver its most exhilarating race weekend ever on December 6-8, with excitement levels hitting
fever pitch at the pre-event launch on Tuesday night at Louvre Abu
Dhabi.
The #AbuDhabiGP 2023 weekend saw a record-breaking attendance of
170,000 fans enjoying the action at Yas Marina Circuit, with 65% of
guests coming from outside the UAE. In 2023, the event's influence
was indisputable with a total attendee weekend expenditure of AED
1.165 billion, strengthening Abu
Dhabi's position as a hub for major sporting, entertainment,
and cultural events, in line with its strategic vision of economic
diversification.
The Yas All In Programme attracted more than 19,000 people to
Yas Island Theme Parks during last year's event, while over 5,500
visits were recorded to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Qasr Al Watan.
Once more, fans will be able to take advantage of these
complimentary experiences with their chosen race weekend day
ticket, as well as that evening's Yasalam After-Race Concert –
all adding up to an unrivalled city break.
As part of F1 fan experience enhancements, racegoers will get
the opportunity to run the iconic Yas Marina Circuit for the first
time on Thursday December 5 ahead of
the season finale. The Run #AbuDhabiGP initiative reinforces
Ethara's commitment to a healthy and active community, building on
its regular weekly TrainYAS activity which has seen over a million
participants come to the circuit since its inception.
Saif Rashid Al Noaimi, CEO,
Ethara, commented: "Ethara is set once again to deliver a full
calendar of award-winning events and ready once more to bring
incredible spectacles to our fans and deliver on our brand promise
of making moments that matter. Yas
Island and Abu Dhabi are
setting higher standards than ever before, attracting thousands of
international visitors to this regional hub looking for a
combination of tourism and major sporting and entertainment
events."
Meanwhile, multi-platinum and Grammy Award-winning rock band
Muse will perform at the FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX 2024, the region's
largest sport and entertainment event, Ethara and Live Nation
jointly announced earlier this week at a VIP event in Abu Dhabi.

Dhabi Grand Prix tickets before the end of April to enjoy Yasalam
