Hotels in the UAE generated approximately AED 37.1 billion in revenue from January to October 2024,
marking a four per cent increase compared to the same period in 2023.

The UAE's tourism sector continues "its positive trajectory, driven by the leadership's forward-thinking vision,"

according to Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Chairman of the UAE Tourism Council.

The hotel occupancy rate also saw growth, reaching nearly 78 per cent, up 2.7 per cent from the corresponding
period last year.

Al Marri stated that these figures highlight the expanding growth of Emirati tourism across various sectors, supporting
the National Tourism Strategy 2031. This strategy is designed to boost the tourism sector’s GDP contribution to AED

450 billion by 2031.

Chairing the first 2025 UAE Tourism Council meeting, Al Marri highlighted innovative projects and initiatives as
drivers of anticipated sector growth this year.
