As expected, recent data show that there was a recovery in foreign visitor arrivals to the UAE in 2010. In Dubai, figures record a favourable rebound from the previous year's downturn, with the total number of hotel and hotel apartment guests (including UAE nationals) up more than 10% year-on-year (y-o-y), to nearly 8.7mn. This includes 390,255 cruise tourists, rising almost 50% y-o-y. Data for Abu Dhabi show solid annual growth in tourist numbers of 18%, to 1.81mn visitors, which was well above the official target. In Sharjah, meanwhile, there was a relatively strong rebound in tourists staying in the emirate's hotels and apartments in 2010, with annual growth at 7.5%, to about 1.56mn arrivals.

Hospitality

There was an improved performance in Dubai in 2010, with guest nights across all types of properties up a strong 16.5% y-o-y to nearly 26.6mn nights (this represents an average three night stay per guest). Hotel occupancy rates though remained unchanged compared with 2009, at 70% (partly due to an increase in the number of hotel rooms). Hotel revenues registered 6% annual growth to some AED13.3bn (with hotel rates coming under pressure).
