"I am inclined to believe that a UAE destination marketing campaign might wield significant weight." I agree, most countries with developed tourism markets have proper multi-language portals to inform visitors to what's available throughout the country. Not everyone wants to lay around on the beach all day ! VisitJordan.com, VisitSweden.com are two good examples of what can be achieved with country marketing. They can also be used to gather more information and input from your visitors so you can then use that to your advantage in future marketing.

As a spa consultant who focuses on training therapists from a global perspective, I am surprised that no one has seen the revenue potential of offering services from a staff which has the knowledge and expertise to work on every ethnicity. Imagine the revenue potential of therapists who can sell based upon an actual assessment of the client's needs. Imagine how the service level is raised when there is true engagement with clients and not just passive treatments. Everyone craves expertise when their skin is involved!
