Dubai reopens to visitors, 'realistic' but 'confident' on tourism rebound
Dubai reopened to international tourists on Tuesday, in hopes of a much-needed boost to an economy hard hit by the coronavirus.
The glittering commercial capital of the United Arab Emirates, known for its high-end hotels, dramatic landscapes and superlative attractions like the world's largest mall and tallest building, is among the first Middle Eastern destinations to restart tourism.
Addressing challenges of the current climate — both in regards to health and weather — Kazim was prudent but hopeful. During Dubai's strictest lockdown period in April, when all but essential businesses were shut and residents had to apply for police permits to leave their homes, 74% of local travel and tourism businesses surveyed by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce said they expected to go out of business in the next month.
