For the second year in a row, Dubai has been named the number one global destination.
The Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award consolidates Dubai's position as the world's favourite tourist destination.
The recognition for a second consecutive years supports the recently launched Dubai Economic Agenda D33 with the aim to consolidate Dubai’s status as one of the world’s top three destinations for tourism and business.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai commented: “The top ranking by global travellers reflects the vision of the leadership to transform Dubai into the world’s top destination for tourism and business, as embodied by a key goal of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. The Agenda’s objective of consolidating Dubai’s status as one of world’s top three cities for tourism and business signifies the leadership’s determination to mark Dubai out as a clear leader not only as a leisure and lifestyle destination but also as a hub for connectivity, commerce and investment. Dubai’s diverse tourism attractions and hospitality offerings, combined with its emergence as a leading venue for global events and a magnet for talent and enterprise will continue to reinforce its status as a favourite among global travellers over the next decade. Dubai’s tourism, hospitality and events sectors have been at the forefront of a rebound and acceleration of global growth in these sectors over the last two years and will continue to play a key role in shaping their evolution in the future.”
The Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Awards are decided by millions of travellers from around the world and based on the quality and quantity of reviews and ratings made.
