PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Hotel revenues projected to surge as UAE tourism maintains growth
The United Arab Emirates’ lodging sector is set for continued growth across the forecast period, supported by government investment in tourism infrastructure, ongoing international events, and rising demand from both leisure and business travellers. Dubai and Abu Dhabi will remain the primary demand centres, but secondary cities such as Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah are increasingly investing in tourism-friendly developments, supported by new airport expansions and road connectivity.
Hospitality leaders reshape UAE market with new openings and bold strategies
Leading global hotel chains continue to double down on their presence in the United Arab Emirates, with Marriott, Hilton, Accor, and IHG all unveiling pipeline expansions across Dubai and emerging markets like Fujairah and Ajman. Marriott has opened new luxury and lifestyle properties under its W and Autograph Collection brands in 2025, targeting high-value travellers seeking unique design and experiential stays.

Lodging (Destination)
Lodging (Destination) covers the main types of lodging used by inbound and domestic tourists, providing a destination point of view (also known as point of supply). Lodging value is measured in terms of the price paid for lodging by the consumer and businesses based on total room sales. It does not include food and drinks or any other form of revenue that is not directly related to lodging, such as events and conferences and guest services, such as gym, spa, shop, room service, restaurant and café. Lodging volume is measured in terms of number of outlets and rooms at year end, and room nights as total of the full year.
