Dubai is ambitious to reopen tourism in July

DUBAI IS
AMBITIOUS TO
REOPEN TOURISM
IN JULY
www.instauaevisa.org

Dubai fetched 16.7 million visitors in 2019.
Emirates which is the wonder child of Dubai,
and the world’s fourth-largest carrier served
transportation to 58 million passengers.

The UAE announced the cancellation of UAE
tourist visa in March. But this country has
started thumping in the Gulf to reopen its
world of wonders for visitors in July.

A post-COVID-19 opening for tourism and
transportation is going to be different. Post
this news many travelers have started
searching UAE tour packages online to plan
their trips ahead.

Restaurants have been given green signal to open while retail
zones are also following strict guidelines of the government.
Hotels, attractions and malls have come together for joint efforts
in disinfecting premises as per UAE Visa requirements. More than
70,000 litres of disinfectants are being sprayed daily on the roads
and streets of Dubai, according to Dubai’s Supreme Committee
of Crisis and Disaster Management. Tour operators in the UAE will
have to design packages that would not only sell but give value
to the visitors.

Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing, Dubai stated
that even if we see an open mode in July it could be extended till
September as many other international airports is still closed. The
approach is not a single way. It is dependent on other countries
and Dubai is in talks with them. The decision to reopen has to be a
coordinated approach. Every country has its pattern of
quarantine, testing and allowing passengers to travel to approved
destinations.

I believe Dubai has to win the confidence and trust of its visitors
now and not build another attraction for them for the post-COVID-
19 reopen. Its health infrastructure and emergency policies to deal
with such pandemics shall be imperative to keep the flow of
visitors moving in. Unless a vaccine is available, the mindset of the
visitors will be fluctuating to plan their Dubai trips as before.

Emirates is undergoing a hygiene transformation to resume
operations in July. Dubai is aiming to get its business back. But they
will be strictly seating their passengers according to social
distancing norms. Meals will be served in boxes packed before
and no in-flight literature reading, please. The cabin bag is not
allowed. And permitted items include laptops, handbags or
briefcases and essential items for infants.

The owner of Nakheel Malls said that they are leaving no stone
unturned in scanning any visitor who is suspicious while coming to
the mall. Its reopening strategy highlights the testing of COVID-19
for all visitors at the service desk, temperature screening at mall
entrances and strict pre- and post-opening disinfection regimes,
with ‘high touch point sterilisation’ such as door handles – every
half an hour.
