Dubai tourism officials say that Dubai is on track to meet a predicted 20 per cent surge in the cruise liner industry. The arrival of thousands of new visitors from cruise ships from around the world will mean millions in new revenue for the Dubai economy.
Jamal Humaid, Manager of the Cruise Terminal at Port Rashid in Dubai, confirmed that plans are under way to build a new cruise liner terminal to replace the existing facility in anticipation of increased demand.
As Dubai’s cruise liner industry expands, its tourism base is also widening as cruise liner visitors may plan to visit Dubai again on holiday and recommend the destination to others.
