Abstract
The tourism sector is one of the most important economic sectors which experienced a dramatic growth in Dubai and has been driven by several factors that will be presented and discussed in details in this paper. The tourism sector in UAE United Arab Emirates plays a vital role in the growth of the economy; UAE is ranked the 28th among 139 countries and 1st in the Middle East in the World Economic Forum’s “Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2013″, Dubai contributes by 33% to the UAE GDP and Tourism represents 66% of the UAE’s tourism economy [Dubai Chamber. 2014]. Another fact, in 2012 the estimated total value added generated by the UAE travel and tourism sector either directly or indirectly, reached about AED 193.6 billion (52.75$ billion) approximately accounting for 14.3% share of GDP, Dubai generated AED 127.77 billion (22.98$ billion). The goal of this paper is to present in details the key factors that contributed to the success and growth of Dubai Tourism sector, any developing country can benefit from this experience despite that Dubai faces several challenges such as it’s a foreign labor dependent, hot climate and high cost of living, we think that Algeria is one the countries that have the potential, similar opportunities and economical strategy (to be less reliant on hydrocarbon sector) to reach that success and growth in the tourism sector. In the first section we will present an overview of the macroeconomic indicators of Dubai economy in UAE, followed by an overview of the Tourism and Travel industry and its impact on the national economy and finally the key factors of the Tourism success in Dubai and how Algeria can benefit from it. Our research is based on secondary research; we were surprised to find a lack of the literature and comprehensive researches on this topic, that’s why we will rely on secondary data from national and international governmental agencies, data from available research papers and interviews of representatives from Dubai Government media centers.
