Market

- 16th annual edition

- Visitors representing 114 countries in 2008

Extremely Lucrative
Market Place
Travellers from the Middle East are typified by:
- Long stays – 24 nights abroad per trip
- Large groups – over two-thirds of holiday goers travel with family
- Big budgets – more than 1.4 x that of their European counterparts
- Big spenders - one-half prefer to stay in four & five star hotels or furnished apartments
The most popular tourism products include:
- Luxury accommodation and transport
- Medical tourism
- Shopping experiences
- Family based tourist attractions and entertainment
- Casinos and gambling
Arabs travel for longer, in large family groups, and spend more money on luxury products. This money could be spent on tourism in the United States.

Beating the Credit Crunch!
The Middle East is one of the richest regions in the world. The United Arab Emirates has a higher density of millionaires than even the USA.
While most of the world struggles in the wake of a global economic slowdown, the UAE has risen one place in the latest Nielsen Consumer Confidence Index.
Travellers from the Middle East have the budgets and confidence to keep spending and can fill the void left by traditional markets that are cutting back on spending. |
