OPENING SHOT<br />
INTERNATIONAL<br />
DUBAI AHOY!<br />
Tourism boards of many<br />
foreign countries may try<br />
their best to woo the<br />
Indian traveller but he/<br />
she continues to have a soft spot for<br />
Dubai. Proof lies in the recentlyreleased<br />
stats released by Dubai<br />
Tourism. Between January and June<br />
this year, 997,000 visitors (out of a<br />
total of 8.36 million who visited the<br />
city-emirate) were from India. Many<br />
of the Indian visitors were entire<br />
families, travelling from Tier-1 and<br />
Tier-2 cities. They were drawn by<br />
Dubai’s numerous attractions,<br />
including malls, museums,<br />
architecture, heritage, beaches and<br />
parks. (SpiceJet is very well-connected<br />
to Dubai. For more details, read the<br />
story `SpiceJet spreads its wing<br />
overseas’ on page 60 of this issue)<br />
