These indicators place Dubai on track to becoming the most visited destination worldwide and contribute to the target of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 that enters Dubai in the top-3 cities globally. The initiative was presented by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai in January of this year.
According to Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, the outstanding growth in international visitation has been made possible by the far-ranging vision of the leadership to transform the emirate into the
global hub for investment, talent, business and travel.
