How does Emirtech support travel agencies and DMCs in Abu Dhabi?

Emirtech is an IT and security integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems; Abu Dhabi Monitoring & Control Centre) founded in 2018, based at M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi. We support travel agencies, destination management companies (DMCs), tour operators and corporate travel desks across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain with the operational IT that sits underneath your booking workflow. We deliver Microsoft 365 with enforced MFA, conditional access and BitLocker drive encryption on staff laptops so customer passport scans, visa documents and itinerary PDFs are protected at rest and in transit. We build the resilient FortiGate-protected network and stable internet path that your Global Distribution System (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo/Travelport) and supplier portals depend on — we deliver the network, not the GDS integration itself, which remains your GDS provider's responsibility. We install ADMCC-approved CCTV covering the customer counter, cash desk and back-office document storage, plus biometric or card access control on rooms holding original passports and visa files. We deploy POS for card payment handling, segregated customer Wi-Fi, an IP-PBX with call recording for booking and complaint calls, EDR endpoint protection and third-party Microsoft 365 backup so a ransomware event or accidental deletion does not lose a year of itineraries and customer records. We are honest about scope: we are not IATA-accredited, not a GDS-integration vendor, not DCT-AD licensed, not a PDPL certification body, not ISO 27001 certified and not a 24/7 SOC. We are not affiliated with IATA, Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo, Travelport, DCT-AD, Etihad, Emirates, Booking.com, Expedia or any airline, OTA or hotel brand. To scope your agency, call +971 55 651 7843 or email [email protected].

Scope — what we deliver and explicitly do not

Honest scope helps you commission the right vendor for each part of your travel-agency technology stack:

  • We deliver: Microsoft 365 with MFA and BitLocker, FortiGate-protected GDS-ready network, ADMCC-approved CCTV at counter and back-office, biometric or card access on document storage rooms, POS for card payments, IP-PBX with call recording, segregated customer Wi-Fi, EDR endpoint protection, third-party M365 backup and documented PDPL-aligned customer data handling procedures.
  • We do not deliver: GDS application integration, Amadeus/Sabre/Galileo terminal licensing or training (handled by your GDS provider); IATA accreditation or BSP setup (handled by IATA and your accountants); DCT-AD travel-trade licensing (handled by Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism and your PRO); airline-direct connectivity (NDC) integration; bespoke booking-engine or mid-office software development; payment-gateway acquiring agreements (handled by your bank).
  • We are not: IATA-accredited, a GDS-integration vendor, DCT-AD licensed, a Dubai SIRA contractor, ISO 27001 certified, NESA or ADHICS accredited, a PDPL certification body, PCI QSA auditors, a SOC 2 audit firm, a telecom licensee (IP-PBX lines and numbers come from du or e&) or a 24/7 security operations centre.
  • We are not affiliated with: IATA, Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo, Travelport, the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi (DCT-AD), Etihad Airways, Emirates, Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Visit Abu Dhabi or any specific airline, OTA or hotel brand. We integrate around the systems your business already uses on a vendor-neutral basis.
  • Geographic scope is Abu Dhabi and Al Ain first; non-regulated IT work in Dubai work is limited to IT AMC and time attendance, by scheduled on-site visits, SIRA-regulated security work in Dubai is delivered through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating, and we do not deliver projects in the Northern Emirates.

Emirtech is an independent IT and security integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) serving Abu Dhabi and Al Ain travel agencies, DMCs and corporate travel desks with practical, honestly scoped infrastructure.

Common questions

FAQs

Do you integrate Amadeus, Sabre or Galileo for our agency?

No. GDS application integration, terminal licensing and consultant training remain with your GDS provider (Amadeus, Sabre or Travelport/Galileo). What we deliver is the resilient FortiGate-protected network, dual-WAN failover, stable internet and secure Windows workstations the GDS terminals run on. We coordinate openly with your GDS account team so connectivity issues are resolved without finger-pointing.

How do you protect customer passport scans and visa documents under UAE PDPL?

We enforce MFA and conditional access on Microsoft 365, encrypt staff laptops with BitLocker, restrict access to customer document folders by role, and deploy EDR endpoint protection. Physical originals are protected by biometric or card access control on the document storage room and ADMCC-approved CCTV. We are not a PDPL certification body, but we help you implement controls consistent with PDPL expectations and document them for audits.

Can you install ADMCC-approved CCTV at our travel agency counter?

Yes. We design, supply and install ADMCC-approved CCTV systems covering the customer counter, cash desk, back-office document storage and entry/exit points. Recording retention is configured to ADMCC expectations and your insurance requirements. We are ADMCC-approved; we are not SIRA-licensed, so Dubai CCTV, alarm and access control are delivered through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating.

Do you handle our IATA accreditation or DCT-AD licensing?

No. IATA accreditation and BSP setup are handled by IATA directly with your accountants. DCT-AD (Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi) travel-trade licensing is handled by your PRO and DCT-AD. We are not affiliated with IATA or DCT-AD. We deliver the IT and security infrastructure that supports your licensed operation.

What backup do you provide for our Microsoft 365 booking emails and itineraries?

We deploy third-party Microsoft 365 backup covering Exchange Online (booking emails and supplier correspondence), OneDrive (staff files), SharePoint (shared document libraries) and Teams. Retention is typically set so a deleted itinerary, customer file or mailbox can be recovered well beyond the standard Microsoft retention window. Recovery is tested before handover.

How do we get a scoped quotation for our travel agency or DMC?

Call +971 55 651 7843 or request a free Travel Agency IT consultation. Share your branch count, staff headcount, GDS in use (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo/Travelport), payment-handling needs, document storage layout and current IT.
