Dubai is currently the regional hub of entertainment, events and fun but the authorities wanted it to take it to the global level with the Tourism Vision for 2020, with our objective being to transform Dubai from a regional events hub to a global destination for events and entertainment in order to attract an increased number of visitors to Dubai.
Events are a key pillar of the Tourism Vision for 2020 as they are the integral part of attracting new visitors to the country.
Helal Saeed Almarri, Director General of Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) said that the inaugural Dubai Motor Festival is a demonstration of their intentions to develop a number of new festivals and events and we look forward to launching more within the next year.
Dubai’s Tourism Vision for 2020, announced earlier this year under the directive of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and spearheaded by DTCM, sets out how the Emirate will double its annual visitor numbers from 10 million in 2012 to 20 million in 2020.
How many of you are excited for the mega event? It is estimated that around 25 million people will attend the Expo if the UAE wins the bid to host the mega event.
