Dubai receives more than 451,000 visitors in January

Mubasher: Official data showed a decline in the number of tourists visiting Dubai during January 2021 by 75%, as the global travel and tourism industry is still coping with the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Dubai remains one of the top travel destinations worldwide, however, the number of its visitors declined to around 451,700 in January, compared with about 1.79 million for the same period last year, according to figures by the emirate's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing.

India and the United Kingdom (UK) topped the visitors' list, with about 124,000 tourists visiting Dubai during the month coming from India, while visitors from the UK reached 28,000.

It is worth noting that Dubai resumed touristic activity last year, reopening the emirate to foreign visitors and tourists in July 2020, as part of the post-pandemic recovery plan, following a three-month halt due to the outbreak of the novel virus.
