Russia’s falling fortunes take a toll on Dubai visitor numbers | The National:
"The fall in the value of the rouble, the effects of western sanctions, and plummeting oil prices have caused a decline in Russian tourism to the UAE, with Dubai especially feeling the effects as Russian visitors stay away or cut spending.
Jumeirah Group, the largest hotelier in Dubai with an estimated 30 per cent market share, said that Russian visitors have fallen down the league table of guests at their luxury establishments in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Russians were the second biggest category by nationality in Jumeirah hotels last year, equal with visitors from Britain, but now they take a firm third place behind the UK and visitors from other countries in the GCC, Jumeirah said. Saudis top the GCC contingent."
