Al Jaddaf Rotana Suite Hotel earns Certified Autism Center status

Al Jaddaf Rotana Suite Hotel has been awarded the Certified Autism Center (CAC) designation by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).

 

The CAC certification acknowledges the hotel's commitment to creating an inclusive environment for autistic and sensory-sensitive individuals.

 

The hotel's team has received training to better understand and support autistic guests and their families.

 

IBCCES conducted an on-site assessment of the hotel, providing recommendations and sensory guides to help guests make informed decisions about their stay and navigate the hotel's facilities comfortably.

 

“Inclusivity is at the heart of our hospitality philosophy. Becoming a Certified Autism Center is a testament to our commitment to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for all our guests,” says Stefan Schmidt, complex general manager of Al Jaddaf Rotana Dubai, Arabian Park Dubai – Edge by Rotana, and Park Apartments Edge by Rotana. “This milestone reflects our dedication to creating an environment where individuals with autism and their families feel welcome, supported, and comfortable. We look forward to continuing to enhance the experience for all our guests, ensuring that every stay is memorable and accessible.”

 

The certification also aligns with Dubai’s broader initiative, led by the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), to become a Certified Autism Destination (CAD). This designation highlights Dubai’s commitment to establishing an inclusive tourism landscape with numerous certified lodging, recreation, and entertainment options for autistic and sensory-sensitive individuals.

 

“Al Jaddaf Rotana Suite Hotel’s achievement as a Certified Autism Center represents a significant step in Dubai’s journey towards greater accessibility,” says Myron Pincomb, CEO and board chairman of IBCCES. “By prioritising inclusivity, the hotel not only enhances its reputation as a leading hospitality destination but also ensures that every guest, regardless of their sensory needs, can enjoy a welcoming and supportive environment.” -TradeArabia News Service
