  1. Dubai to benefit from the World Cup in Qatar It’s official – Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022 is just around the corner! This has got people talking about the potential implications that this could have on Dubai. There is a prediction of a tourism boom In this blog post, we take a look at both sides of the argument and try to give you an idea of what to expect in 2022!

  2. The Qatar World Cup is just around the corner, and with it comes an influx of tourists and a whole lot of excitement. This is good news for Dubai, as it is predicted that there will be a boom in tourism. Not only will more people be coming to watch the games, but also those who want to experience the culture and atmosphere of Qatar. This can only mean good things for Dubai’s economy. The already-growing Dubai rental market is expected to get a major boost, as football fans from all over the world flock to the city to catch a glimpse of their favorite teams. This is good news for landlords and tenants alike, as it is expected that rents will rise but so will the quality of properties on offer.

  3. If you’re planning on visiting Dubai for the World Cup, it’s highly advisable to book your stay well in advance in Dubai. With so many people expected to descend on the city, hotels and apartments are likely to fill up fast. Bloomberg reports that Qatar is about to get a boost to its tourism sector, as the Gulf state prepares to receive more than one million football fans. It is expected that Dubai will benefit more than any other tourist site in the region from Doha’s hosting of the World Cup. Of the more than 90 new flights that will land in Doha daily, about 40 will depart from the UAE alone.

  4. Only Fly Dubai will operate 60 flights (round trip) daily, 24 hours a day, in both directions, between Dubai and Doha. According to the report, flights from Middle Eastern cities will transport fans to Qatar, benefiting airlines, hotels, and other hospitality venues across countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. A report stated that a new hotel built on Palm Island had been allocated to guests who plan to stay in Dubai and take 40-minute flights, limited to a ticket to enter one of the matches. In addition, Bloomberg quoted Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, as saying that Dubai will be the main gateway to the World Cup and it expects the number of arrivals to be very large. Recently, data showed that all 13 of flydubai’s daily flights allocated for transporting fans to attend World Cup matches in Qatar from Dubai to Doha on the first day of the tournament saw all seats in Economy Class run out. flydubai has opened the door for booking “match-day flights” between Dubai and Doha and has provided match-day flights with partner airlines in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

  5. The traveler must hold tickets for the Qatar Football Tournament to book a Match Day Trip to Doha. In addition, applicants need to apply for a “Haya” card as it will be used as an identity card for the fan and is needed in entering Qatar and entering stadiums. World Cup ticket holders will be staying in surrounding countries for the tournament and flying in and out of Qatar for matches, especially during the group stages, an arrangement that will simultaneously benefit the regional hospitality industry and help to alleviate accommodation pressure in Doha, he said.

  6. “A particular group of tourists who will benefit from regular flights and easy visa access are tourist families, who are already interested in exploring the UAE and also have members who are football fans,” Mr. Augier said. “So, we can expect the fans to fly to Qatar to watch the matches while their family members stay and vacation in the UAE. At the end of the tournament, they might even extend their stay to enjoy their holiday in the country.” These logistical arrangements, along with cooler weather, are expected to drive an increase in hotel bookings of 15 percent to 20 percent in November and December, he said. Marriott International plans to nearly double its presence in Qatar, with 10 hotels planned over the next 15 months, six of which are scheduled to open before the World Cup. Qatar has been preparing to host the cup for 12 years. It estimates that an influx of 1.2 million visitors will add $17 billion to its economy and a regional transport service will connect Doha with other cities, including Oman and Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Tourism Authority says it expects to receive 30,000 visitors thanks to the World Cup, and those registered with the Qatari Haya card can apply for multiple entry visas to the kingdom. Meanwhile, the Ministry

  7. of Heritage and Tourism said the tournament will raise the profile of many regional destinations and will have an economic impact beyond the event.
