Witnessing the impressive growth of the UAE’s tourism sector is not only inspiring but also a reminder of the power of strategic investments in infrastructure and guest experiences. The recent news about hotel revenues in the UAE soaring to AED 24.6 billion (US$ 6.7 billion) in the first half of 2024 and the remarkable increase in hotel guests highlights the nation’s position as a global leader in tourism. At Ornisa Pvt Ltd., we are privileged to be part of this growth by providing premium linens to some of the world’s top hotels, including those across the UAE. The 10.5% increase in hotel guests reflects not just numbers but also the shift toward higher expectations for quality and luxury. Travelers today seek comfort, aesthetics, and a memorable experience. With UAE hotel occupancy rates hitting 79.5%, one of the highest globally, hotels must maintain world-class standards in comfort and service to stay competitive and build loyalty among guests. In the next phase of growth, I believe the key challenge for hoteliers will be differentiation. With the UAE welcoming millions of new visitors and expanding its hotel offerings, the hospitality industry must focus on creating exceptional experiences. Luxurious, meticulously made linens, paired with impeccable service, form a core part of that experience—an aspect we’re proud to contribute to. #news #uae #tourism #hotelindustry

Bahrain introduces new tourist tax on hotel accommodations The Ministry of Tourism in Bahrain has announced a new tourist tax on hotel accommodations throughout the kingdom. Effective May 1, 2024, a tax of three Bahraini dinars (approximately Dh30) will be charged per room per day. The decision was communicated to tourist travel agencies and airlines both within Bahrain and internationally, with instructions to incorporate the tax into the room rates charged to tourists visiting the country. The measure aims to standardise additional costs associated with hotel stays and ensure transparency for visitors planning their travels to Bahrain. The Ministry of Tourism anticipates that the new tax will generate a significant revenue stream, projecting an increase in the state budget by up to three million dinars annually, assuming hotel room occupancy rates reach 40 per cent per year.

A long weekend celebrating UAE National Day…🇦🇪 This weekend, the country enjoyed a long weekend to mark the 53rd UAE National Day. In just over five decades since unification, the UAE has become a global hotspot for many things and seems to be advancing at a rapid pace. Every week, I read about the region in international headlines. “The launchpad for the next big thing” “It’s the destination to visit” “The hub for innovation” The speed of growth is staggering, and there’s no sign of slowing down. What’s most inspiring is how the UAE is diversifying and growing its economy, creating opportunities for people to bring fresh ideas and make their mark. With so many parts of the world tied up in bureaucracy and debate, the UAE is charging forward, building and innovating. It’s incredible to see how much has been achieved in such a short time - and how much potential there still is for the future.

The power of our purses 👛 and the change in the business of hotels to be authentically sustainable. TLC reported at RESET Travel. Sustainably. “OWNERS, Hoteliers that manage must change their position and verify harms from their properties economically, dealing with scope 3 TLC looks to Saudi Arabia the GCC. Arab women are very affluent businesswomen who are making decisions about how they invest their own money, how they travel with their families, what brands they buy, and want to support nature. “These women in the Gulf are highly prized for luxury providers of services and brands, from hotels to handbags, and these women, in our knowledge and our understanding, are most concerned for the future generation of their children. “And so, these women are the key, in our view, to pushing the sustainable agenda further and faster because if they choose not to stay in a particular hotel, because it has not delivered a verified sustainable position, then actually that hotel loses that business.

In my view, if Qatar truly aims to position itself as a leisure and MICE destination, they should consider positioning Discover Qatar as a marketing platform instead of a direct competitor to DMCs and other larger bedbanks.
