Dubai attracted 7.12 million international overnight visitors between January and June 2022, according to a report.

Dubai is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. A beautiful place on earth, it welcomes millions of people from all over the world every year (“Dubai welcomes over 7.12 million international visitors in first half of 2022,” Aug.7, Gulf Today website).

Dubai attracted 7.12 million international overnight visitors between January and June 2022, recording more than 183% growth in visitors compared to the 2.52 million tourists who visited the emirate during the same period in 2021, according to latest data from Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET).

This positive trend in H1 2022 places the city firmly on track to achieve its tourism goals for 2022 and beyond, and further reinforces its position as an international destination of choice.

I am sure the number of international guests will increase in the coming days because many festival seasons are scheduled to kick off in Dubai.
