In spite of the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, tourism experts and officials are of the opinion that there would be a limited and short-term impact on tourism to the UAE, since it is a popular destination among travelers from the UK.
Lewis Allsopp, the CEO of Allsopp & Allsopp, said that the UAE is a tourist haven, and that UK citizens would love to discover what the country has to offer.
According to Dubai Tourism, despite the depreciation of the pound against the dollar, and continued Brexit uncertainty, the UK remained Dubai’s third largest source market with 1,086,000 visitors dropping in from January to November 2019 period.
Arrivals from the UK to the GCC are expected to increase 22 per cent over the 2018 to 2024 period, driven by new and direct flight routes, competitive air fares and a growing number of leisure travelers.
