The emirate of Dubai has officially reached 100,000 rooms across its expanding hotel and hotel apartment inventory.
Dubai surpassed 100,000 rooms following the opening of the Westin Dubai Al Habtoor City in August this year, according to Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM).
DTCM director general HE Helal Saeed Almarri commented: “For the hotel sector, high demand from international travellers, and the consequent growth in tourism volumes, has been the cornerstone of fostering continued investment in supply enhancement, which has seen us cross this historic 100,000 rooms threshold."

With demand increasing, overall projected occupancy rates until 2018 are expected to be maintained at approximately 77%.
