Help make Dubai more accessible for over 1 billion people around the globe with autism and other areas of determination

IBCCES DET

Through a partnership between the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) and Dubai Economy and Tourism (DET), we are offering a program to include a combination of online training from DET with certification, consultation, and ongoing support from IBCCES.

What is the Certified Autism Destination™ designation?

The Certified Autism Destination™ designation is awarded by IBCCES to communities that provide a variety of accommodations, leisure activities, and entertainment options specifically tailored to support individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities, and their families.

This certification ensures a welcoming environment for autistic guests, creating a more inclusive and enjoyable experience.

Achieving CAD status serves as a compelling economic and brand amplifier drawing in visitors with autism or sensory needs who seek a welcoming, safe, and enjoyable experience, making it both a socially responsible and strategic business decision.
