You can tell the story from the address. They come regularly but there always seems to be a bit more to them that isn't mentioned. Is there a anti Dubai agenda?

This is really going to damage their tourism as people will not want to go there

Tourism in Dubai increases annually and they are well on their way to 20 million visitors per year by 2020.

I believe a lot of the tourists come from countries like Iran, access to different shops & experiences and different visa requirements.

Slavery aside, (and I really wish that was not happening) I'm almost glad Dubai exists, as all those people that wish to holiday in Dubai will never be on holiday where I am, which suits me (and them!) perfectly.

What a strange thing to say.

People can go on more than one holiday a year and different places each time they go. So Dubai for one trip and a very different place on the next trip.

Fionne- I know lots of people that go to Dubai several times a year, and trust me- I'm very glad they're there and not anywhere near me as I have enough of their company in term time.
