Dubai has been ranked the best holiday destination in the world for 2023 for the second year in a row, according to the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards announced on Wednesday.
The annual awards’ top cities were chosen based on the reviews of millions of travellers that were submitted on Tripadvisor’s website from November 1, 2021, to October 31, 2022.
“The top ranking by global travellers reflects the vision of the leadership to transform Dubai into the world’s top destination for tourism and business, as embodied by a key goal of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33)… Dubai’s diverse tourism attractions and hospitality offerings, combined with its emergence as a leading venue for global events and a magnet for talent and enterprise, will continue to reinforce its status as a favourite among global travellers over the next decade,” said Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council.
Additionally, after the pandemic, Dubai’s tourism has surged, with estimations from Dubai Economy and Tourism (DET) showing that during the period of January through November 2022, 12.82 million overnight visitors stayed in Dubai.
