A report produced by BNC Network for The Big 5, the largest event for the construction industry in the Middle East, reveals a 6.1% year on year increase in the value of Dubai’s hospitality projects in Q1 2018. Comprising new hotels, resorts and hotel apartments, these are worth a total of over USD 43 billion.

Seven new projects worth over USD 370 million were announced in the first three months of the year. Moreover, 25 hospitality projects with an estimated value of USD 2.2 billion, currently in tender stage, are expected to be awarded in the next few months.

The Dubai Hospitality Construction Overview report shows that Dubai is on track to reach 20 million overnight visitors in 2020,”

comments Heijmans.

These project movements demonstrate a healthy growth in the hospitality related construction sector in 2018 and beyond.”

Dubai is developing its hospitality infrastructure with a vision to become the world’s tourist capital. According to a report published by the Dubai Tourism Department, there were over 680 hotels and hotel apartments in the Emirate, offering an inventory of over 107,000 rooms in 2017.

The new projects are set to attract more international visitors, offering a variety of theme and budget-friendly options too, as Dubai’s business related tourism keeps growing. Last year, the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) reported an all-time record of 3.3 million delegates and attendees, 9% up from 2016.
