The African and the US markets are very important for Dubai, and by working with AfroZons, we can reach travellers across Africa and the US, which makes this campaign unique and interesting to us. We will also be able to invite the incredible number of 70 lucky winners to a trip to Dubai, where they will get to experience all highlights of our destination such as EXPO, which opens on 1 October 2021, as well as Ain Dubai, and many more.
Dubai recently marked one year since the reopening in July 2020 and received 4.1 million visitors during a 12-months period. This positive performance reinforces the leading role Dubai is playing in global tourism recovery, and we are looking forward to welcoming many more travellers from the US and Africa in the near future.
