Dubai’s handling of the Covid pandemic, its
ability to provide one of the world’s safest environments, and the gathering
pace of its economic growth have made it a preferred international destination
for business, tourism, and events, according to data shared at the Arabian
Travel Market (ATM) 2022, which concluded last week.

The increasing confidence of global travellers
coming to Dubai is borne out by the fact that key indicators in its tourism,
hospitality, and the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions)
sectors are now meeting and even exceeding pre-pandemic levels.

For instance, it welcomed almost four million
international overnight visitors between January and March 2022, showcasing a
massive 214 per cent growth from 2021. The city also ranked No.1 globally in hotel
occupancy in the first quarter of 2022.

Meanwhile, Dubai International (DXB) retained
its position as the world’s busiest airport by international passenger numbers
for the eighth consecutive year, clocking 29.1 million in annual traffic in
2021.
