For the UAE, India is the World’s Economic Powerhouse: The Media Line

The Media Line: "Laila Al-Uthman points to a display at an apparel store here and in broken Hindi asks for the t-shirt. Turning to her friend, Jameela, she rattles off the list of prices in her native Arabic.

Laila and her husband, Hamed, who are from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), are regular visitors to Delhi and Mumbai. Hamed is a travel operator looking to increase his presence in India and lure more Indians to the UAE amid increasing affluence in India.

“We’ve been coming to the country [India] at least two or three times a year for the past five years,” she told The Media Line. “For me it is travel, but for my husband, it is business.”
