Expo 2020: Revolutionizing Dubai
Dubai began to feel the economic benefits of winning the privilege of hosting the World Expo 2020 as soon as the announcement was made, as there was an immediate four percent rise in the stock market index of Emirates. That was the first time since 2008 that the index was pushed past the 3000 point level.
And the benefits kept coming as the event drew nearer. As mentioned earlier, 25 million visitors will descend upon Dubai during the six-month event. These tourists will pour money into the emirate’s economy through hotels, transportation, communication, catering, and other facilities they visit, such as malls and entertainment venues.
The additional visitors will subsequently cause the emirate’s GDP to rise, with experts predicting Dubai to yield AED 89 billion (£14.4 billion) in added revenue.
Increased tourists arrivals and a rise in investor confidence are a winning combination for the hotel and leisure industry, as well as the retail sector.
Hotel occupancy rates are likely to rise dramatically during the course of the event, meaning owners and developers could see significant hikes in their profits while the World Expo runs its course. The World Expo is likely to have lasting benefits for Dubai, and the UAE.
