Global Travel Awards 2016 in London
Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing was awarded 'Best
Tourist Board' at the Travel Weekly Globe Awards in London earlier this month.
The awards are voted for by UK travel agents and industry experts, and with
previous winners including the likes of BrandUSA and VisitEngland, the win is
testament to the continued hard work and dedication of Dubai Tourism’s London
office in promoting Dubai.
Issam Kazim, CEO, Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing,
said: "This significant win recognises the work and passion that goes into
the promotion of Dubai on a global scale. The UK has long been one of our best
performing markets, featuring among the top three source markets for inbound
tourism for more than ten years in a row, and we will continue to invest in the
region to ensure continued growth. Our goal is to welcome more than two million
visitors per year from the UK by the start of the next decade, and while this
is an ambitious target, it is ultimately an achievable one thanks to the support
we continue to receive from the UK travel industry and its close partnership
with key Dubai stakeholders.
With Dubai having welcomed an unprecedented number of visitors from the
UK over the 2015 summer period, it is clear the emirate presents a great value
summer destination, with UK travellers expected to again make the most of the
deals on offer at hotels, resorts and attractions across the city this summer.
Annual seasonal events such as Dubai Summer Surprises are also expected to
continue to drive international interest during this period.
Looking ahead, Dubai Tourism’s London office is committed to building on
the solid foundations laid in 2015 and accelerating the pace of growth over the
next 12 months, ultimately ensuring that Dubai’s Tourism Vision for 2020 is
realised.
