Business Tourism in Dubai

Business tourism is the commute and transit of investors, entrepreneurs, employees and employers and in many cases entire businesses from one location to another for the purpose of expansion or in search of bigger opportunities. Business tourism has always been a significant purpose for visiting the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is a premier hotspot for corporate congestion all over the year. In the past few quarters, the UAE has been experiencing a comparative shortage in business tourism to its predecessor years, and the suspect behind this is the existence of many stagnant firms that have not been performing in the Dubai market reducing fresh business opportunities for new companies. The issue seems to have escalated since many investors hedged their investments in the hospitality industry in Abu Dhabi citing it being on the 3rd rank for global tourist favourite locations in 2017-18. Tourism has been at an all-time high in Abu Dhabi because of its cultural location branding campaign in recent years and adding on to that since it is the capital of the UAE, there is the availability of quick administrative approval services for businesses to get incorporated in their respective zones.

Dubai Expo 2020 – The Knight in Silver Armor

The tourism industry has been head over heels over the travel preparations of the Expo that started in 2017 post the crowd capacity announcement. Several travel companies have decided to collaborate with hospitality partners such as hotels and travel commute partners such as cruises, flights and intercity transit partners to provide overall packages to their customers. Travel companies have been making accommodation arrangements and have been hiring host associates from various cultural-linguistic backgrounds to guide the massive groups of tourists around the Expo location and numerous other eye candy attractions in Dubai. This has favoured the creation of quarter-million jobs in the tourism, hospitality, financial services and logistics industry. The overall contribution to GDP is expected to be AED 122.6 Billion, and that encompasses 1.5% of the GDP of all the seven emirates housed in the UAE.
