Abu Dhabi‘s Yas Island has launched a new tourism campaign, naming Aquaman and Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa as its new chief island officer.
He replaces comedian and actor Kevin Hart, who left the role earlier this year. In a new trailer, Momoa can be seen making an entrance on a paddle board.
“When you discover your calling, when you realise your destiny, and you know your whole life has led to this one ridiculously awesome job,” he says in the video.
“They made me chief island officer of Yas Island Abu Dhabi,” he adds. “So now I’m making sure everyone here lives it up like me.”
Yas Island is home to various leisure and entertainment experiences, including Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld and Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi.
“We received resounding feedback following Kevin’s Hart farewell campaign, and we are excited to deliver yet another successful storyline for fans to follow,” said Liam Findlay, Miral Destinations’ CEO.
“As Yas Island Abu Dhabi continues to entertain guests with best-in-class experiences and with offerings that resonate with visitors from all over the world, we look forward to raising the bar even higher in the days to come with Jason Momoa as the island’s newest officer.”
On 23 May, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi is opening on Yas Island. SeaWorld’s first park outside of the US will include animal encounters, rides, entertainment, and retail and dining experiences.
New tourism campaign
Miral has also announced a new Harry Potter-themed land at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, a first in the Middle East.
“We are gradually increasing the number of attraction facilities on the island and raising its profile worldwide,” Miral CEO Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi told blooloop.
“Year after year, we have been striving to push the envelope and to deliver something unique and new.
“Our vision is to have more options for our customers to come and visit.”
