Dubai airport expects to set a new record for passenger numbers this year

The region recognises that tourism is a bright spot for economic development

Dubai is well positioned to surpass its record passenger traffic this year and surpass the pre-pandemic figure in 2023, CEO of Dubai Airport said. This is reported by Pretoria News, a partner of TV BRICS.

Dubai International Airport, the world's busiest in terms of international passenger numbers, will reach 87 million visits in 2023, surpassing the 2019 figure of 86.4 million. Chief Executive Officer Paul Griffiths cited the early recovery of Dubai, the business and financial centre of the United Arab Emirates, from the pandemic as key factors.

Dubai Airport's official forecast for this year is 88.8 million passengers, slightly short of the record.

"We've demonstrated the absolute resilience of the network that we operate," said Griffiths, adding that Dubai's airport serves 104 countries via 102 airlines.”

He noted that the region recognises that travel and tourism is a fantastic driver of economic growth, and furthermore it is not competition but cooperation and complementarity.

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"
