A report by “Reuters” news agency confirmed that the Houthi terrorist attacks on civilian facilities in the UAE did not deter tourists from flocking to the country, seeking to enjoy the warmth of its winter.
Reuters said that the tourism industry, which is concentrated in Dubai, is booming during the high season, as hotel owners and reservation agents reported a rise in demand despite the reinstatement of travel restrictions related to the “Covid 19” pandemic in many countries. Beaches and restaurants are also witnessing a large turnout, at a time when Expo 2020 Dubai is attracting more visitors.
According to Huber, a travel search engine that uses cumulative data to predict and analyze flight prices, searches for the UAE rose about 22% in January. Hospitality data analyst STR said in December that Dubai’s hotel industry recorded an occupancy rate of 78.2%.
“He expects strong demand,” said Vinayak Mahtani, CEO of holiday home management company BNPMI. He continued, “The UAE, thanks to its leadership, is a safe place. There is no sense of insecurity or fear among us or among the tourists,” adding that the attacks “had no effect at all.” Enjoying the sun, Anastasia Nikitina, who studies in Moscow, said: “The weather is very nice compared to Russia. We feel really safe here and nothing bothers us at all.”
“I feel completely safe in Dubai,” said Daniel Rivlin, 22, when visiting the Expo 2020 Dubai, hours after the UAE intercepted, last Monday, a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis.
For her part, the general manager of the Habtoor Grand Resort, Karolina Paliszyuska, said that no reservations had been canceled due to the Houthi attacks. Instead, she predicted a triumphant end to a season that she said was already better than the years just before the pandemic.
“The situation looks much better than last year,” she said. The first quarter is well beyond what we recorded in the same period last year, so we are very optimistic.”
