The Ajman Department of Tourism Development has changed its name to the Ajman Department of Tourism, Culture and Media following a merger with the Ajman Culture and Media Department.
The change was announced after the two government entities merged into one organisation under Law No. 2 of 2025, issued by Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman.
The law was issued in line with the directives of Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of the Executive Council.
New Ajman department combines tourism, culture and media sectors
The law stipulates the merger of the two departments into one entity to enhance coordination, improve performance efficiency and foster government operations while achieving integration across the three sectors to support the emirate’s objectives.
“The adoption of the new official name of the department embodies the ambitious vision aimed at consolidating institutional integration between the tourism, culture and media sectors. It reflects a firm commitment to developing a more efficient and flexible model of government work, based on the pillars of innovation and sustainability,” Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Ajman Department of Tourism, Culture and Media said in a statement.
“The new name embodies our renewed identity and mission to position the emirate as a dynamic hub that combines authenticity with innovation. As a unified team, we continue to transform the vision of our wise leadership into impactful initiatives and projects that drive the emirate’s growth, reinforce its economy and community, and position Ajman as a hub of digital transformation, national talent empowerment, and sustainable partnerships,” Mahmood Khaleel Alhashmi, Director-General of the Ajman Department of Tourism, Culture and Media added.
The merger reflects the department’s institutional identity that combines tourism, culture and media under one umbrella.
The move underscores the Ajman government’s commitment to improving institutional performance, boosting service quality and promoting innovation and sustainability across all sectors.
New structure to advance regulatory frameworks
The structure enables the department to continue advancing regulatory and legislative frameworks governing the tourism, culture and media sectors, reinforcing the emirate’s position as a destination locally, regionally and globally.
The department will promote Ajman as a destination that blends natural, heritage and cultural assets, with a focus on enriching the cultural landscape, supporting talents and creatives, and developing the media environment to align digital transformations and technological innovations.
The merger contributes to the emirate’s goal to achieve development and enhance the quality of life in line with Ajman Vision 2030 and the aspirations of the leadership.
