Dubai is fast witnessing a growth in UK business and leisure travellers.
The segment is growing at a healthy rate of 10% per year due to regularly evolving destination offerings.
Statistics released by Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) revealed that the emirate welcomed 687,000 UK hotel guests in 2012, and a further 759,000 UK hotel guests in 2013, representing a 10% year-on-year increase. In 2014, Dubai welcomed 845,000 UK hotel guests to its shores, an increase of 11% compared to 2013. The tourism body also announced that it is expecting steady influx to continue, and forecast that over one million visitors from the UK will travel to Dubai in 2016 should current growth rates persist.
