All factors indicate that Dubai is making sustained progress towards its Tourism Vision 2020 goals of welcoming 20 million visitors per year by 2020.
“We must look forward and anticipate the future, so that our country lead globally,” once stated Sheikh Mohammed. That vision is paying rich dividends.
