Dubai: a ‘five-star destination’

The ABTA has lavished praise on Dubai’s property and tourism markets…

In a recent interview, Frances Tuke, spokesperson for The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) enthused: “The Dubai economy is directly benefiting from growing tourism in the region, and the region has established itself as a four or five star luxury destination.

"As a result, the emirate has been able to attract affluent individuals who are willing to spend lots of money. This has then been put back into the tourism sector in order to enhance its appeal even further. Ultimately, this has resulted in an unprecedented period of economic growth for Dubai.

"What makes this even more impressive is the fact that a while ago, Dubai was really just a desert state. Now it’s one of the fastest growing cities in the world".
