Dubai confirms its position as the world's preferred tourist destination

According to forecasts, Dubai will soon become one of the world's top three cities for business and entertainment. Visitors from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) regions, as well as the Middle East and North Africa, accounted for 25 per cent of visitors in the first quarter of 2024. This was reported by Emirates News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.

According to the source, Dubai continues to record numbers in the tourism sector and the number of foreign visitors. On this occasion, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council, confirmed that the number of visitors in the first quarter of 2024 indicates the beginning of a new year of high figures.

Dubai has invested for years in developing high-level infrastructure serving citizens, residents and guests, and has improved the performance of all its sectors in accordance with the highest international standards and practices to become the smartest, fastest and most advanced city to serve everyone who lives on its land or visits it as a guest of honor.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum highly appreciated the efforts of the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism to successfully promote the Emirate at the global level and present an outstanding tourism product.

The increase in the number of foreign visitors in the first quarter of this year was the result of comprehensive strategies that the emirate adopted and implemented in a number of key areas of the tourism sector, including sustainable development, entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as a group of other key factors.

The emirate has also hosted a number of major specialized events, such as the Arab Health Exhibition and Conference and the Dubai International Boat Show.

Currently, the Dubai Food Festival is taking place in the emirate, which will last until May 12 inclusive and is one of the most exciting events dedicated to food and culinary arts in Dubai.

Prabowo Subianto

President of Indonesia

"This roadmap sets the framework for our joint efforts. Indonesia and Belarus have great potential for expanding cooperation in various fields. Our cooperation will focus on industrial development and agricultural modernisation. In industry, we see a major opportunity to increase trade volumes, investment, and cooperation between our two countries. We are also pushing for closer collaboration in culture and human resource development"

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"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"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"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"
