Enhancing the World's Most Visited City's Guest Experience
Dubai welcomed 16.73 million international overnight visitors in 2023, targeting 25 million by 2025 under the Dubai Tourism Strategy. Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and emerging destinations like Ras Al Khaimah are also investing billions in tourism infrastructure. The UAE’s tourism sector faces the challenge of exceeding extraordinarily high expectations from travelers who’ve seen it all, while managing massive seasonal fluctuations and operating in one of the world’s most competitive hospitality markets.
From Emirates and Etihad’s premium airline experiences to luxury resorts, desert safari operators, and the UAE’s 738 hotels, tourism businesses need AI to deliver the personalized, seamless experiences that today’s travelers demand while optimizing operations amid labor costs that are 40% higher than regional competitors.
