Dubai targets over 5.5 mln overseas tourists this year | Reuters
Dubai expects to attract over 5.5 million overseas visitors this year, hopeful that new markets can help make up for the loss of visitors from key places where travel is restricted.
Dubai had 5.5 million overseas visitors last year, when the tourism sector was pummelled by the coronavirus pandemic. In 2019, 16.7 million tourists visited.
Visitors from India, traditionally Dubai's top source market, are largely banned from the United Arab Emirates due to the latest outbreak in the South Asian nation.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom, Dubai's third biggest source market in 2019, has barred direct flights and requires travellers from the UAE to hotel quarantine.
