UAE visitor spend in the UK showed 24% growth in 2008 over 2007. 2008 saw 232,000 UAE-based travelers to the UK spending GBP289m. Those 2008 figures, though still provisional, represent a significant jump over 2007 figures which account for 187,000 UAE visitors spending GBP 189.
"UAE travelers to the UK have more to see and do than ever before, and now it's even more affordable, so we are not at all surprised to see UAE visitor numbers and related spend continuing to climb,"
said Carol Maddison, VisitBritain's Marketing Manager, UAE.
VisitBritain recently conducted its annual trade gathering, Destination Britain & Ireland, at which key travel trade buyers, decision makers, and media from more than 15 markets in the APMEA region congregated.
According to Maddison, VisitBritain fully recognises and acknowledges the challenges facing suppliers and buyers. The forum was used as a way to provide attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to address the challenges in the year ahead.
