Dubai aims to attract 20 million visitors annually by 2020
Dubai - Arab Today

Dubai welcomed a record 14.9 million visitors in 2016, the city’s tourism department said Tuesday, as the Gulf emirate capitalized on its reputed safety in a region wracked by turmoil. 
The emirate aims to attract 20 million visitors annually by 2020 when it hosts the global trade fair Expo 2020.
As turmoil hits traditional tourism destinations in the Middle East and North Africa, Dubai has benefitted from its reputation as a safe haven for tourism and business.
The desert emirate boasts opulent shopping malls, numerous luxury resorts and even an indoor ski resort.
The number of visitors to Dubai in 2016 increased by five percent compared to the previous year, the tourism department said in a statement.
Travelers from Gulf countries made up almost 23 percent of all visitors, it said, with Saudis alone accounting for almost half of them.
Western Europe followed closely with 21 percent of visitors, it said.
Travelers from China surged by 20 percent to more than half a million, while Russian tourism rose by 14 percent to 240,000 visitors.
Dubai International Airport retained its position as the world’s busiest hub for international passengers in 2016, handling 83.6 million travelers.
The economy of Dubai is seen as the most diversified in the Gulf, helped by trade and tourism, and is not dependent on oil revenues.
