The job market in the UAE’s travel and tourism industry has reached pre-pandemic levels as the 'revenge travel' that started after Covid-19 restrictions were lifted has provided a much-needed boost to the country’s key sector.

The UAE was one of the first countries to reopen its economy for foreign visitors after Covid-19, which substantially aided the recovery of the travel and tourism industry.

According to World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the number of jobs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are forecast to have reached 305,000 in 2022, the same level as before the pandemic. This is compared to 273,000 people employed in the sector in 2021, thus, creating 32,000 jobs last year.

Dubai’s appeal as a global tourist destination has grown exceptionally in the last couple of years. It has been ranked the best destination for holidaymakers in the world for 2023 — for the second year in a row – by Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards and ranked 2nd most attractive city for tourists in 2022 by Euromonitor.

According to Dubai Economy and Tourism, the number of international visitors jumped over 97 per cent to 14.36 million in 2022, but lower than 2019 figures of 16.73 million.

“City destinations in the UAE continue to grow in popularity for travellers from around the world. Although these key cities were heavily affected by the pandemic, they have shown incredible resilience and signs of growth. The UAE’s travel and tourism sector is on the road to recovery, demonstrative of the wide appeal tourist destinations across the region continue to hold for international travellers,” said Julia Simpson, president and CEO of WTTC.

“But it’s crucial that the national and local governments continue to recognise the economic importance of travel and tourism for the local and national economies, jobs and businesses.,” said Simpson.

Global tourism body has projected that Dubai tourist spending will jump by over 46 per cent to nearly $43 billion (Dh158 billion) by 2032, as compared to $29.4 billion (Dh108 billion) at the end of 2022, as the emirate’s tourism sector is set to expand on the back of government initiatives to attract more foreign visitors to the emirate.

In Dubai, WTTC said the numbers are forecast to rise by 13 per cent to 262,000 jobs while Abu Dhabi employment numbers are set to reach just over 43,000 in 2022, a modest increase of 0.4 per cent increase in job numbers since before the pandemic.

The report showed that there were just under 262,000 in Dubai and almost 43,000 travel and tourism jobs in Abu Dhabi in 2019.

The global tourism body projected the sector’s contribution to Dubai's economy is forecast to have reached Dh46 billion, only 10 per cent below 2019 levels. While Abu Dhabi’s travel and tourism sector is expected to have grown to Dh11 billion last year, just 12 per cent below 2019 levels.

In 2020, the sector’s contribution in both cities dropped by more than half. In Dubai, it fell to Dh19.5 billion and in Abu Dhabi, it fell to just Dh6 billion.

Dubai Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing

Dubai’s Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (DTCM) is the official tourism board and government body responsible for regulating, planning and licensing the city’s tourism and hospitality industry.

The DTCM is headquartered in Dubai but also maintains offices in many of the world’s biggest cities (London, New York, Tokyo, Beijing, Moscow, Frankfurt, etc.).

Visitor Information Bureaus

Visitors to Dubai wishing to obtain maps, brochures, public transport schedules, and general tourist advice can visit one of the DTCM’s Visitor Information Bureaus. They can be found at the airport and several shopping malls ( Deira City Centre , BurJuman , Ibn Battuta Mall , and Wafi City Mall ).

Official Dubai Tourism Websites

The DTCM maintains 2 websites:

Government of Dubai – Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing

The official site of the DTCM offers a wealth of information in addition to general tourist advice. It features an excellent interactive map, press releases, useful tourism statistics (hotels, visitors etc.), legislation and laws, videos, a weekly newsletter, an online complaints service, electronic brochures, and more.

Definitely Dubai

This website is the official tourism portal of the city of Dubai and is very consumer focused.

The site is split into three major sections, each targeting a different audience:

This section includes information about getting to Dubai, accommodation, things to do, things to see, and places to eat.

Everything a new or existing resident of Dubai needs to know about living in the city can be found here. Topics covered include residence visas, fixed and mobile telephones, internet access, nurseries and schools, ID cards, and sponsoring a maid.

Business Visitors

This part of the site contains information about setting up a business in Dubai, exhibition and conference venues, free zones, employment, and more.

Comments and Additional Information

I am delighted to visit Dubai, the spectacular city is the best example of urban planning has super luxury Hotels, Big shopping Malls, beautiful buildings, conference facilities, shopping, knightlife, delicious food and so on…. would like to visit again..

Hello. I have a Christ tattoo on my body and some other tattoos.Is that a problem in public beaches in Dubai or in hotel swimming pools????

Wife wife has a cross around her neck and we have lived in Dubai for over 15 years. This is an extremely tolerant Emirate. We love Dubai and its people

No, of course not, dubai is open for everyone from all regions, religions, races, backgrounds, and walks of life, so you are free to enjoy the beautiful beaches of dubai.

When in Rome behave like a Roman , so goes the old adage.

I’m from South Africa and every country has its own roots culture and religion, I lived in Dubai for months and it was one unforgettable experience I wouldn’t trade for anything, Abide by the rules you’ll love it. Can’t wait to get an a holiday apartment there

SO just because a "kissing" in public arrest has been made? stay away? Its called respecting religion, Dubai is an AMAZING place 🙂 No offence or not tryign to argue, but thats abit silly advice John 😛

Kissing is not a crime anywhere in the world. If they want visitors to feel welcomed they also have to respect other cultures and welcome them instead of trying to force theirs customs onto others.

After the recent arrest of the two British nationals for "kissing" in public. I urge everyone to stay out of Dubai.

Dubai is independent and sovereign state. Aliens and foreigners MUST comply and respect ALL UAE laws and regulations plus traditions. If they are not happy, they should stay out of Dubai.

Uae… where their “religion” is mandatory. Very narrow minded!

they were not “kissing” in public , they were fornicating in public , in all countries worldwide = you will go to jail for such behaviour

Summer is a good time to go to Dubai. The weather is very hot but flights and hotels are a lot cheaper.
