Dubai targets quality tourists and long-term investors in 2027 push

Dubai is shifting its tourism focus toward repeat visitors, hotel investment and logistics as it plans for 2027, according to Issam Kazim. The emirate is working with the private sector to address concerns over property supply while it positions quality tourists and long-term investors at the centre of its 2027 strategy. The approach means less emphasis on sheer arrival volumes and more on guests likely to return, alongside hotel and logistics development. For people living in the UAE, the direction points to continued attention on housing supply pressure and rents, but also to further investment in hospitality and logistics.
