Economic Downturn has caused many troubles in almost every field of life but its effects are especially visible in tourism and hotel industry. Dubai is also not an exception, tourism has declined and consequently, Dubai hotels’ rates have also decreased. As there are always two sides of pictures, so being optimistic, we can take out some positive hope out of this pessimistic news. And the positive side is that declining hotels room rates are attracting more tourists and it is a healthy sign for both Dubai tourism and hospitality sector.

This decline means that Dubai hotels are becoming affordable for larger numbers of tourists. Mostly tourists around the world are looking for affordable holiday destinations and Dubai is quite popular for its eye catching tourist spots and marvelous hotels. High profile classic tourist spots cast a lavish and deluxe image in tourists’ minds but honestly speaking, high-rise hotels, high rates and lack of public transport contributed to Dubai Economic issue back in 2009.

Worldwide tourism Consultancies explain the reason of boom and then fall of Dubai tourism scenario that is; “Dubai appeared as a symbol of magnificence and opulence out of no where and this image grew too rapidly. Even when there were not enough hotels, people still wanted to visit Dubai and it let the figures feel that what so ever you do, tourists will be mushroomed and will come there at all costs. This dream was shattered when Dubai faced economic crunch and every sector felt its after affects, hotels prices were declined and luxury rooms started becoming available to almost everyone. It is because every hotel was advertising itself at highly competitive rates and average daily room rates were decreased.”

However, now the hotels rooms’ rates have declined and most of the hotel owners are advertising their hotels as the most affordable hotels in Dubai. It impacted well on Dubai tourism industry. The occupancy level is slightly moving up and at the end of 2011; it rose to 75% as compared to last year’s occupancy level that was 69.3%. It is a positive sign; and now let’s see what Dubai has still to offer to support its tourism and hotel industry?

I used to get emails from readers who ask my tips to help them in planning their trip to Dubai and UAE. Therefore I have decided to discuss this matter in upcoming blog post. I got an email from Susan Smith, who wanted to pack her bag from the USA and decided to celebrate her 18th birthday and vacations along azure and sandy beaches of Dubai. She asked that she has listened a lot about this holiday destination but does not have any idea where to stay, how much they charge, which hotels are the best to stay and how much money is needed for two weeks stay?

This sort of question is very obvious from tourists so I decided to answer this email on this blog. Let’s come to a part of your question in which you asked where you should stay? Dubai offers a wonderful collection of high class hotels, resorts and short stay apartments to cater people with every taste and budget. Dubai has numerous world class hotels that have much more to offer the tourists. Let’s talk about few five star hotels that every tourist must consider.

Atlantis – The Palm!

If you want to enjoy your trip according to a true Arabic theme then you must plan to stay in a five star hotel, The Atlantis. The towering arches, deep domes and flamboyant spires describe complete Arabic architectural design that gives you constant surprises. Every room and suite presents a magnificent view for people of every taste.

One&Only Royal Mirage!

Another tribute is paid to Arabian architecture by the architects when One&Only Royal Mirage (The Palace) resort was constructed on Jumeirah Beach. It is considered as one of the most stylish resort constructed alongside beach. The hotel has big rooms, huge pool and water sports centre. Visitors can enjoy every activity there such as tennis, sailing, surfing, windsurfing, beach side volley ball, diving, snorkeling and can enjoy full spa treatments and shopping in the world’s famous shopping malls.

Rest of the 5 star restaurants will be discussed in the next post soon.

Planning to visit Dubai in the next few months? Decided where to stay?

Not yet!

Perfect, this post will help you in deciding your accommodation in Dubai.

No matter what real estate agents state, the ever growing prosperity of Dubai is a clear indication of continuous growth and development. Dubai is growing at fast pace and swift speed. A decade ago, who thought that the very sandy and little quaint city will be transformed into a bustling and happening metropolis. Anyone can notice the incredible difference in the infrastructure that completely changed the outlook of the city. Tourism is one of the biggest income generating sectors of Dubai and officials are transforming Dubai to attract tourists from every corner of the world.

The city is continuously witnessing the ongoing construction projects in form of magnificent hotels buildings, skyscrapers and apartments. Many long awaited hotels construction projects are also on the way of completion showing that Dubai has the world’s leading travel and tourism industry. It does not mean that only elite class can afford to travel far and wide in Dubai and enjoy stay in luxurious hotels.

Once there was a time when staying in Dubai hotels was very expensive and affordable by rich people only. Dubai has become cheap and realistic with the passage of time. Don’t worry, I am not talking about staying in seven star hotels but cheap accommodation is also available in Dubai now. The concept of apartment accommodation has brought revolution in the tourism industry.

Cheap apartments, affordable rooms and hotels are preferable choices for all who are visiting Dubai for short stay. These cost-effective options are preferable choices nowadays and provoked everyone to come and visit Dubai as it is no more leisure for elite class only. Internet has made everything easier and worth enjoying. Online booking prior to your visit makes you relax and gives you ample scope to pre-plan your journey without spending too much time thinking where to stay, how to find an affordable place for short stay in new city.

Almost every hotel offers online booking facility, however, the decision to stay in seven star hotels or any cost-effective apartment entirely depends upon you and your budget. However, I will suggest you to stay in affordable hotel as these hotels provide many facilities and offers to their guests just to attract more customers in the long run.

Health precautions before flying to Dubai

Though Dubai is a clean and safe city for tourists and Dubai Government carries out immunization programs successfully to keep the tourists and travelers healthy and safe. Due to strict rules and regulations imposed by Dubai Government and provision of clean water and high standards of cleanliness in Dubai hotels, the city is honored as one of the cleanest cities in the world. There are no reported cases of any severe travelers’’ illness. Hotels and restaurants are kept clean according to the high international health and safety standards. This is about city but being a tourist, you must also be aware of health risks and it is always better to be on a safer side.

In the following post, let’s assume what travelers must do before landing into Dubai and staying in any of the hotels there.

Health Check!

The city is touted as “the clean city” of the world and therefore no special kind of vaccination is required before going to Dubai but to be on safer side, it is better to undergo a health checkup. It is just to avoid any health complication, if you are traveling from a health-risk area. Taking tetanus or flu inoculation is recommended, especially if you are planning for a long trip.

Hepatitis A is very rare and is transmitted just by infected water and food so be very careful while eating food anywhere in the city. Hepatitis B, C and D are transmitted through sexual contact, blood transfusion and through unsterilized needles. You must be very conscious wherever you are and when you are in any city.

Other Lesser Health Risks!

Mosquitoes are everywhere in towns and cities, though government is trying to get rid of them completely and got remarkable success in this combat. However, different kinds of moths and mosquitoes are found in desert and beach areas, especially if you are staying in camp. Therefore, mild fever tablets and mosquito repellents are recommended to carry along you to avoid falling ill while visiting to Dubai.

Weather is extremely hot in Dubai and to avoid heatstroke, you must carry ample amount of drinking water, hats, sunglasses and sun block lotions, to protect your skin.

This is all for today. I am not saying you not to fly to Dubai to enjoy your holidays; I am just saying to take preventive actions before visiting.
