UAE Welcomes Chinese Tourist Parties

CEO of Desert Adventure Tourism said “China is a promising market for us. We are expecting a lot of Chinese tourists to visit as the bookings have already started coming in.” Samir Tabah said most of the bookings are for October and November, and the Chinese tourists are choosing a four night package including hotel accommodation and a desert safari. She said they opened a sales office in China to promote tourism in the UAE. DTCM figures show that 531,918 Chinese stayed in Dubai hotels in 2008, 12% more than in 2007. The ADS agreement is expected to dramatically increase the number of Chinese tourists this year.
