Dubai,
The Pride of the United Arab
Emirates. A place of facinating
contrasts. Where the East and
the West meet. The ancient and
modern merge. The desert and
the sea blend. Dubai has always
had a strong marine association
thanks to its excellent location
on the southern Arabian Gulf
Its shores has for generations
attracted seafarers and traders
for commerce. In fact, Dubai
was a principal Gulf Coast port
and an important Trading Centre.
It was called the City of Merchants
and was famous throughout the
region for its courtesy and
hospitality.
A
tradition that lives on to this
date. Dubai's growing popularity
amongst world travelers has
resulted in the evolution of
a mature tourism sector. With
over 282 hotels, more than 91
airlines connecting to over
132 destinations, experienced
ground operators, modern seaports
and most importantly a government
dedicated to creating a sound
social and economic infrastructure
for the tourism industry. Underlining
the importance of the Tourism
industry is The Department of
Tourism and Commerce Marketing
(DTCM) which under the able
leadership of H. H. General
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai
and UAE Minister of Defence
as the Chairman and Khalid bin
Sulayem as the Director General,
is making Dubai the favourite
tourist sport of the millennium.
