Indian tourists top Dubai’s list of visitors who visit the city not only for its affluence but also because it is nearby and due to low prices. Recent statistics indicate that more than 11.9 million passengers from India visited Dubai in 2023, showing India as the destination with the highest international arrivals.
The appeal of Dubai is its diversity. Known for luxurious lifestyles, architectural wonders, and booming real estate activity, the city also has a busy events calendar. This boasts world-class shopping festivals and sports car races, live concerts, and nightlife that caters to all ages and any visitor.
A seamless blend of modern luxury and old-world charm separate the city. Unique in every way, it remains an attraction that draws tourists every year, simultaneously complementing the efforts made by Dubai to appeal to culture, entertainment, and sports added to intensify its global image and contribute to the diversified and robust growth of tourism in the city.
Strengthening the Forex Market
Dubai has enjoyed good relationships with all neighbouring countries and also plays a strategic role in cross-border trade and business, which has further fueled the tourism sector here. The boom in tourism in such a scenario has further increased the demand for foreign exchange here.
Pavan Kavad, MD, Prithvi Exchange (India) Limited clarifies, “The more and more tourists attract each year, the higher the demand for UAE dirham. Hike in demand from there generated massive opportunities for foreign exchange service providers to fill the need of tourists exchanging their currency with locals to AED.”
Technology Enhances Forex Convenience
The foreign exchange providers keep developing convenient solutions for meeting such ever-growing demand through including forex and travel currency cards. Such cards make currency exchange a very straightforward and convenient process while offering the easy avenues of smooth payment to tourists for different purposes, such as booking taxis, shopping for essentials or something luxurious.
As Kavad puts it, “With a quick tap of these cards, it allows tourists to navigate with utmost ease their travel costs and this makes the trip seamless and enjoyable.” Ensuring uninterrupted supply of AED, forex service providers play a crucial role in making the entire experience seamless for visitors of Dubai.
The strategic location, rich cultural life, and innovative solutions of Dubai should play to their strengths as an area of tourism. This is huge enough to trigger rapid growth in the forex market, where it benefits the traveller in equal measure as it benefits the local economy.
