He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Dubai became a hub of a luxury and value for money, so we know very well that with the coming [of the] new 200 hotels investment [that] came in during the last 18 months, the occupancy in the historical hotels has to share the occupancy with the new hotels coming in.
- People, and in particular those who are involved in the travel and tourism industry, would like to know the correct picture from somebody working in the industry, receiving tourists, and involved in the meetings industry in Dubai and UAE for the past 25 years.
- Ali Abu Monassar, who has a long and excellent history on tourism in Dubai and UAE and is a partner with Net Tours, which is one of the leading tour operators in Dubai.
