Tourist travel to Dubai in 2022 reaches 86% of pre-pandemic levels, exceeding global recovery levels of 63% and Middle East recovery levels of 83%.

Dubai welcomed 14.36 million international visitors in 2022, equivalent to a 97% year-on-year growth from 7.28 million tourist arrivals in 2021, according to the latest data released by Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (DET).

Among foreign tourists, Dubai continues to focus on the Spanish market, taking advantage of the fact that Spaniards are travelling abroad more. This is demonstrated by the data: the long weekends in December exceeded the volume of trips abroad compared to the same long weekends in 2019 by +32%.
