Visitors to Dubai predicted to boom
The number of tourists heading to Dubai is set to explode, according to new figures.
Statistics released by Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) show that ten million visitors will stay in hotels in Dubai in 2010, up from seven million last year.
The number of available hotel and apartment beds will also rise to almost 65,000 in two years' time, compared with just over 51,000 in 2007, according to the forecast.
Khalid Ahmed bin Sulayem, DTCM director-general, commented: "The next three years will see the most dramatic developments in tourism projects in Dubai and DTCM is poised to play a crucial role in ensuring that Dubai continues to a frontrunner in the region's moves to attract tourists from around the globe."
Dubai's attractions include its various outlandishly designed hotels, the nearby Jumeirah Beach, a massive desert-based ski slope and extensive shopping facilities.
