Dubai’s hotel establishments welcomed 11.63 million guests in 2014, registering a 5.6 per cent increase over guest arrivals in 2013, according to figures published today by Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM).
The Emirates continues to maintain growth at a sustainable level while also growing its portfolio of hotels and hotel apartment establishments, thus taking another step closer to achieving its Tourism Vision for 2020, which aims to welcome 20 million visitors a year by 2020.
The data shows steady year-on-year growth and significant increases across key indicators including hotel establishment revenues and guest nights. Dubai’s top 10 hotel guest source markets in 2014 remained almost entirely unchanged from 2013, with only slight shifts in positioning.
