Dubai and Abu Dhabi are starting to lose this race as KSA, with its larger geographical size and richer cultural-historical background for leisure tourism, along with its wealth and newfound obsession to finally claim the title of the Middle East’s hub from Dubai, gains momentum. It’s fascinating to observe the competitive race between the Emirates, where I relocated a couple of years ago, and Saudi Arabia, which boasts twice the GDP and an even greater desire to win the race for tourists and expatriates. According to Expat Insider, in 2024, Saudi Arabia became the second-best country in the world for expatriates, surpassing the USA, UK, and Belgium, trailing only Denmark. In the similar ranking for 2023, the kingdom was in 14th place. I will continue to advocate for Dubai to adopt a more successful strategy by shifting efforts from leisure tourism to attracting business tourism through the stimulation and increase of large-scale business exhibitions, like our The Leads Arenas, for instance

As a global leader, the UAE is taking center stage in the Middle East’s MICE tourism sector. With a 50% market share in 2024, valued at $5.62 billion, Dubai's world-class infrastructure and luxurious offerings have made it a top destination for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions. Projections indicate continued growth, with the UAE's MICE market expected to reach $8.58 billion by 2029. While Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman are also making significant strides in the MICE industry, the UAE's dominance is undeniable. As a MICE DMC operating in this region, we're witnessing firsthand the rapid growth and development of the sector and believe that the UAE is poised to remain a major force.

Tourism sector to grow by 5% in 2025, say experts. Qatar’s tourism industry is poised to embark on “sustained momentum” as the figure is expected to grow by 5 percent in the coming year, according to researchers. Analysts at ValuStrat indicate that the country has seen 3.9 million visitors so far and will receive nearly 4.2 million by the end of this year. Speaking to The Peninsula, Anum Hassan, Head of Research in Qatar at ValuStrat said that the hospitality sector continues to thrive, largely due to the legacy impact of FIFA 2022 and an uptick in local and international events. She said “Tourism from GCC countries played a pivotal role, contributing 44 percent of total visitors—a 43 percent YoY increase. Cooler weather during Q3 also bolstered tourism activity, driving higher demand for accommodations.” She also noted that the first three quarters of 2024 saw several noteworthy retail developments that attracted several tourists and investors. Newly opened malls include Velero Mall in Lusail Marina, Crystal Walkway in Gewan Island at The Pearl, and Baraha Town in Bu Hamour. Significant brands were among the additions during the same period including Tesla, Alo Yoga, Pret A Manger, Pickl, Raising Cane’s, WHSmith Curiosity, New Balance, and Golden Apple.
