TripadvisorⓇ, the world's largest travel guide platform, recently announced Dubai as the #1 Best of the Best Destinations in the 2024 Travellers' Choice Awards. The Travellers' Choice Awards are chosen by millions of travelers from around the world who provide honest and unbiased reviews or opinions on destinations, activities, and experiences. The awards take into account 12 months of traveler reviews and ratings between 1 October 2022 and 30 September 2023, when the awards were announced. The final results are of far-reaching significance as they truly reflect the attitudes of travelers.

His Excellency Issam Kazim, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Tourism and Commerce Promotion Authority, said, "Travellers from all over the world are eager to find a destination that is safe, secure, and easily accessible. They all appreciate the diversity of services offered by Dubai across a wide range of sectors. Whether they are families traveling, thrill-seeking adventurers, or business visitors and cultural explorers, they all speak highly of the city's unique experience."

"Consumer needs and travel trends have been in a constant state of flux in recent years. With the help of traveler feedback presented on digital platforms such as Catwalk, and direct feedback from visiting tourists, we will continue to maintain Dubai's superb service standards for a wonderful experience in the city."

Dubai's convenient entry policies, easy access to the world, close public-private partnerships, globally acclaimed culinary delights, and its superb quality of life have cemented its position as a preferred global destination. Dubai welcomed 15.37 million international overnight visitors between January and November 2023, a 20 percent increase over the same period in 2022, according to the latest figures released by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism. This achievement is in line with Dubai's 'D33' economic plan, which aims to further strengthen Dubai's position as one of the top three international destinations for tourism and business and to make Dubai the best place in the world to visit, live and work.

Dubai's repeated recognition as the world's favorite destination underlines the city's vibrancy and diverse travel offerings.
