The hotel sector also achieved a high occupancy rate of 80.5 per cent, reflecting continued growth and the combined efforts of both the public and private sectors.
The figures were revealed during a meeting of the Emirates Tourism Council, highlighting the sector’s vital role in contributing to the UAE’s non-oil GDP and supporting the goals of the National Tourism Strategy 2031.
