In March 2022, Dubai had more visitors than in March 2019!

Undoubtedly, Dubai's recovery from the pandemic has been spectacular.

This extraordinary growth can be attributed to Dubai's diverse offerings, world-class attractions, and ongoing efforts to revise its value proposition in response to changing times. It is a rare destination that appeals to business and leisure travelers. So it's not surprising that this global city ranked first in hotel occupancy in the first quarter of 2022.

Western Europe accounted for 24% of international visitor arrivals in Dubai, while South Asia accounted for 14%.
