Emaar Properties claims Dubai Mall is now the world's most-visited shopping and leisure destination, after the centre attracted 54 million visitors last year.
The traffic was a 15 per cent increase on 2010 and pushed the mall past the 50.2 million visitors to New York City, according to Emaar. The developer also compared the visitor numbers to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Times Square, Central Park and Niagara Falls, but did not offer independent verification in a release issued yesterday.
"From a tourist perspective and a global perspective, it is very successful," said David Macadam, the regional director of retail for Jones Lang LaSalle. "But it would be very hard to justify [the numbers] or contradict them."
