Buamim said that by that time, the hotel rooms’ capacity in Dubai is set to exceed 100,000.
He added that several factors play a key role in boosting the number of visitors to the emirate, including the number of conferences that take place in Dubai due to its strategic location, the booming exhibitions sector and the growth of low-budget carriers.
