Dubai has once again proven its position as a global frontrunner in economic growth and tourist attractions as it announces its latest achievement.

The city received 14.36 million international visitors in 2022 and registered one of the world’s highest hotel occupancy rates (73%), an impressive feat given the backdrop of the tail end of the pandemic in East Asia and conflict in Europe. This reflects the vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to make Dubai the world’s best city to live, work and visit.

Dubai’s exceptional performance has placed it in a solid position to achieve more success as part of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. This ambitious agenda includes making Dubai a top 3 global tourism destination, which is a testament to the city’s commitment to excellence and innovation.

The city’s unwavering commitment to providing the best possible experiences for its residents and visitors alike has set it apart from other destinations worldwide. One of the keys to Dubai’s success lies in its focus on delivering exceptional government services, an essential practice that is neglected in other cities and countries. In 2022, the city released the results of the Dubai Government Customer & Employee Happiness Indices, which saw average scores of 86% & 88%, respectively. This demonstrates the city’s commitment to ensuring that both its residents and visitors have a positive and memorable experience.

Dubai’s achievements in the tourism sector are also a result of its continued investment in infrastructure, transportation and entertainment options. The city offers a wide range of attractions, from the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, to world-renowned luxury hotels and culinary delights. Visitors can also enjoy the city’s vibrant nightlife, top-notch dining options, and world-class spas and wellness centres.

Dubai’s commitment to sustainability has also been instrumental in its success as a tourist destination. These include the launch of electric taxis, the use of renewable energy sources, and the promotion of eco-friendly tourism practices.

Dubai’s latest achievement is just the beginning of an incredible journey ahead. The city’s exceptional performance and focus on delivering outstanding government services and sustainable tourism practices are a testament to its commitment to excellence and innovation. The city’s vision to be the world’s best city to live, work, and visit is well on its way to becoming a reality.
