Dubai sees flat tourism growth

After a record year for visitor numbers in 2017, the Dubai government said yesterday that tourism figures had not grown in the first nine months of 2018.

The emirate had 11.58 million visitors in the first three quarters of 2018, the exact same number as in the first three quarters of last year. India retained its position as the leading source market followed by Saudi Arabia, with the UK continuing to hold second and third positions respectively. (Staff Report)
