UAE telco du has announced a collaboration with Dubai Municipality to transform the parks and recreation sector in the UAE. A special show during GITEX Global 2023 at the du booth introduced solutions such as ticketless entry, seamless identity management, improved worker satisfaction, as well as sustainability in public parks.

The highlight of the show was an information and communication technologies (ICT) digital platform designed exclusively for entities involved in recreation and wellness, led by Dubai Municipality. This pioneering platform will thus aim to enrich park experiences by streamlining identity management processes, and offering a user experience that is seamless and convenient for park visitors.
