Dubai visitor numbers to exceed pre-pandemic levels in final weeks of 2021, DXB chief says – The National

The number of visitors to Dubai is expected to hit pre-pandemic levels in the remaining few weeks of 2021 during the peak holiday travel period in December, in a further sign of the airport's and tourism industry's continued recovery.

Dubai International Airport (DXB)'s Terminal 3 is expected to handle more than 1.6 million passengers in the second half of December during the month's peak seasonal travel period, operator Dubai Airports said in a statement on Monday.

Visitors to Dubai exceeded 1 million during the month of October and DXB handled 1 million passengers per week in November, with origin-destination passengers reaching 94 per cent of pre-pandemic levels.
