As destination partner for the 16th Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge, the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Authority played a key role in ensuring the success of the Grand Finals.

Steven Rice, CEO Ras Al Khaimah Tourism, said: “The Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah is emerging as one of the preferred tourism destinations. With two golf courses that meet international standards, RAK is proving to be an attractive destination for prestigious events such as the Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge.”

“We have identified Noor Dubai as the cause that we wished to support through this year’s edition. The funds that we raised through the course of the Challenge will be matched by Xerox Emirates. We appreciate the work undertaken by Noor Dubai to address avoidable blindness in developing countries”, he added.
