Dubai set to see 10,000 new hotel rooms open in 2016

About 10,000 new hotel rooms will open in Dubai throughout 2016, according to a new report.

The Dubai Hotel Market Overview prepared by JLL for The Hotel Show Dubai 2016 reveals that 621 new hotel rooms opened in Dubai during the first quarter of the year, with 9,400 rooms expected to be added to the market by the end of the year.

Last month, Dubai hit the 100,000 hotel rooms milestone as the city aims to cement itself as a top 10 global destination in terms of available supply.

“This is an important and exciting time for Dubai’s hospitality and leisure industry,” said Gary Williams, event director of the dmg events hospitality portfolio including The Hotel Show and The Leisure Show.
