Egypt's loss is Dubai's tourism gain - The National

Dubai's hotels and tour operators are welcoming more winter sun-seekers as tourists avoid Egypt in favour of safer destinations.

Hotel occupancy levels in Dubai are 20 per cent higher than this time last year, with the instability of parts of the Mena region playing a role in the increase.

"Dubai is a good refuge, in a way, for tourists," said Samir Hamadeh, the director of sales and marketing at Alpha Tours Dubai. "Being one of the safest destinations in the world, Dubai is always the first option for tourists to divert to and seek as an alternative."
