Bangladesh among UAE's top three inbound travel markets

Dhaka: Bangladesh has become one of the top three inbound travel markets of the United Arab Emirates, the others being the United Kingdom and India.

Tourists flying in from Pakistan, Germany and Saudi Arabia come next, according to reports.

Besides, business travellers coming to the UAE's capital Dubai are also predominantly from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan -- closely followed by Saudi Arabia and the UK.

The renowned travel technology company Travelport has named the UAE the travel industry's most recovered country in 2022.

The Emirates has surpassed its pre-pandemic tourism numbers, recovering to 110 per cent of its 2019 levels.

With over 98.49 per cent of the population fully vaccinated, travellers are also comfortable with the pandemic response of the country.

It may be mentioned that Dubai leads the list of destinations to where people are travelling to in the UAE.

Home to the world's tallest skyscraper Burj Khalifa, the only "seven-star" hotel Burj Al Arab and the newly opened Museum of the Future, the city is the second-most recovered spot in the Middle East and the fifth most recovered globally, said Travelport in a report.

It ranks behind long-standing popular tourist destinations in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Mexico, and just behind Saudi Arabia's Riyadh.

Dubai has also had an even more impressive recovery, with tourist levels returning to 115 per cent of its pre-pandemic figures.
