The performance of Abu Dhabi market are quite surprising, as prior to any hotel development, there are huge feasibility companies behind to advise hotel companies on how to conceptualize their hotels. Has the With an inventory of less than 100 hotels, the hotel prices in Abu Dhabi are ranging lower than market prices in Paris, Brussels, Roma, Barcelona, Mumbai, Delhi, Hong Kong, Singapur. I think lots of things has to do with price positioning and exposure with international markets. For International corporate traveller, who travel to London, Abu Dhabi, New Delhi and Hong Kong on a monthly basis, why is he/she led to pay a low price in Abu Dhabi, when the hotel is certainly the most prestigious in the overall stay. What would be interesting in this article is to know the market segmentation mix of Abu Dhabi hotels? Is the market led by Individual Corporate, Travel Agencies / DMC, Tour Series, Group Corporate Business? What kind of Corporate clients comes to Abu Dhabi (Strategic / Finance Consultants, Architect / Construction field, Medical field, Lawyers...)? Those categories of clients are the one that make the hotel market popular in Dubai, because they are all related to construction field. So the more construction projects are contracted with international clients, the more you can expect your hotel to be filled. When I see a 5-star Fairmont Bab Al Bahr on Booking.com at USD 175.00 (Eur 130.00), this is a great deal for a client, looking at what the brand experience could be.

This is not very wise It costs to attract tourists, they are not free!
