‘A Dubai invite’: Registrations close after 90,000 applications from residents
More than 30,000 packages have already been distributed under the scheme, which offers discounts and perks for residents who invite friends and family from overseas to visit.
Dubai's tourism initiative, the Dubai Invite campaign, has come to an end after receiving over 90,000 applications from residents eager to invite their friends and family to visit the city. The scheme offered discounts up to Dh3,000 ($816) on various aspects of tourism, including hotel stays and free days at attractions, to bolster the sector during the Iran war crisis. The initiative, managed by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, closed registrations on October 31.
Over 30,000 discount packages have already been distributed, with benefits to be granted to registered visitors before they depart. The department had to increase the number of packages more than threefold due to the overwhelming demand. These benefits will remain valid until December 31 and must be claimed within 72 hours of the visitor's arrival in Dubai.
The strong response to the campaign came from Dubai's diverse resident community, showcasing the enthusiasm of people from around 200 nationalities to share their city with their loved ones. Noor Al Geziry, associate vice president for special projects and Mena at the department, highlighted the crucial role residents play as ambassadors for the city.
