Welcome to Dubai, the City of Contrasts
By James Bukovsky

Dubai is the place where ancient and modern people meet. Dubai is the place where you can be gazing at the Architectural craftsmanship that cause the tall modern structures and 5 minutes later you could be wondering via the little old side road at the Dubai gold souk. Dubai is the crucial MICE destination with modern meeting facilities and luxurious city business hotels where huge multinationals and business travelers satisfy from all over the world for elegant exhibitions and extensive arrangements.

Nonetheless Dubai is also a vacation location for families with children that enjoy a week at the Jebel Ali or Sheraton Dubai Beach Resort.

Dubai is certainly a great traveling location for both the visitor along with the business tourist. Dubai has so much to use in methods of tasks, hotels and infrastructure to name however a few. Children love Dubai as there are many great activities held for them every day at either one of the hotels or at one of the tourist's destinations such as wild water park. Not to stress for mom and dad as they will have ample chance to appreciate themselves at one of the several destinations or events held daily. The many Dubai trip firms organize a wonderful selection of tasks which may consist of jeep safari's, snowboarding down the sand dunes or truly striking the ski slopes in the recently opened Dubai interior ski lodge.

Dubai has actually gotten to the Valhalla standing of tourist locations. It will certainly be hard to discover any kind of location all over the world which has had such strong development in tourism earnings and arrivals and Dubai has even turn into one of the world broad trailblazers when it concerns travel and tourism. Nevertheless Dubai knows as nothing else just how promptly a destination can arrive and just how quickly a destination could end up being unpopular amongst travelers and meeting coordinators.

Dubai is continuing to greatly spend right into the Dubai tourism industry with lots of spending on framework, new Dubai hotels and a whole series of spectacular tourist attractions that are being developed or are under strategies. The quickly to be opened undersea hotel is simply an example of exactly what the planners in Dubai are up to.

The constant financial investments by the authorities and money community should generally guarantee its placement as of the major travel locations all over the world nevertheless there is an additional side to the success of Dubai.

A growing number of site visitors our revealing their disgust with the big rate increases which the resorts in Dubai seem to carry out each season. Dubai was never ever a location for budget tourists nonetheless several of the resorts are starting to charge huge prices for their space. The Dubai hotel owners need to not become money grubbing and big-headed and out rate themselves. Numerous destinations in the past have seen this happen which ultimately brought about the appeal of those locations dropping instead fast.

Neighboring countries such as Oman and Qatar are seeing their appeal amongst international travelers rapidly enhancing and more and more hotels and various other centers are being constructed although both countries already have a large number of excellent resorts. The various other Emirates, with which Dubai forms the United Arab Emirates, are seeing their tourist industries growing at warp speed. Abu Dhabi has a large number of world class resorts and hotels and more are being acquired. One of the most pricey hotel on the planet ever before develop remains in fact the Emirates Royal residence which is possessed by the Abu Dhabi government and is managed by Kempinski. There are a growing number of excellent options to Dubai in the region and commonly at a lot reduced prices so the policy makers ought to very much consider this.

Dubai has concentrated all their energy and funds right into the tourist industry. The result is stunning. However as the oil supply is rumored to dry up soon, it will certainly suggest that Dubai has actually placed almost all their eggs into one basket. Dubai will certainly be very depending on the hospitality and tourism business which can result in unwanted scenarios.

Dubai is unfortunately not located in a very steady part of the world. Because of the continuous troubles that close by nations have with one and other such as Israel, Iraq, Iran and Syria, it is tough to forecast the future. Regrettably an occasion in a close-by nation could completely disable the tourism business which would certainly be tragic for Dubai and its labor force.

A good example of a destination which experienced deeply as it had only the tourism industry to rely upon is Bali. I worked there just before the big economic dilemma hit South East Asia during the last months of 1997. The Island of the gods had exceptionally high occupancies and high typical area rates. Many brand-new hotels were being created as Bali was a golden goose at that time. It was the play area of the international Jet set. Given that the situation hit in 1997 Bali has actually never ever been able to attract meeting coordinators and the multitude of tourists that they were as soon as made use of to. Many locals lost their income source and a large amount of investors lost their lifesaving. Many resorts have actually been offered since then without there being many severe buyers.

Off course Dubai is located in a different region of the world however several ingredients of what triggered Bali to vanish as a big tourist gamer additionally potentially excist in Dubai. The spiritual fans that hit Bali could shift their sights to other places and Dubai with al its western vacationers do attract attention a little bit. Everything takes one such affix and the tourism industry will obtain an impact which it may not recover from.

Additionally having actually spoken with many Dubai travelers along with individuals living and working in Dubai, I have actually assembled a list of things which would certainly be great for renovation and would definitely please numerous visitors.

Quit the pricing discrimination which charges Arabs and previous Soviet Union countries a lot more after that western Europeans and Asians. This policy has actually distressed a great number of travelers and this does not take place in Qatar or Oman for instance.

Due to a lot of resorts having opened and being opened in the future, there is the threat that the quality of the hotel team can go down. Clients are starting to grumble more about the solution they get at the Dubai resorts. The guests often really feel that the resorts and their monitoring are rather big-headed and not versatile when it comes to addressing any issue that clients might have.

Dubai has among the strictest cancelation policies of any location all over the world. It is not uncommon that resorts are billing 100% cancelation charge also if the customer cancelled a week or even more before. The hotels ought to recognize that this will finally end up being a great reason for travelers not to go. A week at a beach hotel could easily set you back 3000-5000 USD and if they need to terminate as a result of a household emergency situation then that would an absurd cancelation charge for the hotel to keep.

Numerous hotels in Dubai still have not very generous children's plans as parents frequently need to pay kid supplement in addition to the area charge. The substantial majority of locations that I workinged from have the regulation that 2 children under 12 can share the space with the parents as long as no additional bedding was called for. A a great deal of Dubai resorts just call for one child to stay in the area and as a result a household with 2 small children is told to get 2 rooms. This is an additional sore factor for family members and which are transforming them away as they have to stick with their young youngsters in one space.

Dropping visa requirement for certain citizenships. The nations that got in the EU some years ago like Malta and the Czech Republic still call for a visa while the various other member countries of the EU don't need one. Also neighboring Lebanon and Egypt for instance still require a visa which is rather complex for last minute business travel and meetings.

Finally a point of myself. Dubai seems to be able making one of the most incredible buildings, attractions and man-made islands. Nonetheless, why is the general public transportation service in Dubai so inadequate compared with its extravagant resorts and malls. That is certainly one large comparison. Much of the Taxis are charging extremely high rates and specifically those at the flight terminal. Cant some rail network be construct in between the airport terminal and Dubai and feasible even the coastline location. Kuala Lumpur develops an excellent rail system when they opened their brand-new airport a couple of years back. I am particular that Dubai would become an also much better tourist hotspot with such as system.
