Dubai sets target for cruise tourism

DUBAI’S ambition for cruise tourism targets one million passengers a year from 2020, says Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman and CEO of DP World and chairman of the Ports, Customs, and Free Zone Corporation.

‘Our goal is to go all-out and make the passenger-friendly facility in #Dubai the best in the world’, says Bin Sulayem. ‘We are committed to investing in the transformation of Mina Rashid [Dubai’s port] into the #cruise #destination of choice for liners. In addition, there is a plan to build a marina for luxury yachts at Mina Rashid.’

Mina Rashid has been voted the Middle East’s leading cruise port at the World Travel Awards for the seventh consecutive year. It serves as a hub for tourists wishing to explore Middle Eastern countries, with a capacity to cater for seven big cruise vessels at one time.
