Executive Director for Business Tourism, Hamad Mohammed bin Mejren, said “if we do not reach our target of attracting 15 million tourists by 2015, we will work hard to reach the closest that we can get to our original tourists…
Mejren said more time must be spent on promotion and advertizing. The Proleads market research company, based in Dubai, said the economic slowdown has caused the cancellation of about 6,500 hotel rooms in UAE, while around 5 per cent of 893 hotel projects have been postponed or cancelled.
