Dubai is emerging as a major desert tourism hub, now rivaling Las Vegas in hotel capacity, visitor offerings, and diversified experiences. With more hotel rooms than Las Vegas and an expanding portfolio of events, nightlife, leisure, and luxury options, Dubai is positioning itself as a full-fledged destination rather than a transit stop. The potential introduction of casino licences could further strengthen its appeal.
For travel agents and Indian outbound travellers, Dubai’s evolution underscores the importance of premium and differentiated tourism experiences. Destinations are raising the bar for infrastructure and engagement, and packages need to cater to high-value, curated experiences rather than only mass-market options.
