Dubai to become a global tourism destination in 2023

Wednesday, August 9, 2023

The remarkable surge in international visitors witnessed by Dubai in the first half of 2023 further demonstrates its emergence as one of the brightest spots not only in the worldwide tourism sector but also in the broader global economic landscape.

The latest data released by Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism shows the city steadily advancing towards the goal of becoming the world’s most visited destination.

Dubai welcomes 8.55 million international visitors from Jan to June 2023, exceeding the pre–pandemic figure of 8.36 million tourists in H1 2019.

Record H1 performance contributes to the goal of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 to consolidate Dubai’s status as one of the world’s top three cities.

Dubai hotels outperform pre–pandemic levels across all hospitality metrics in H1 2023.
