A new top ranking revealed by Top Hotel Projects shows that Dubai is in no doubt about strongly increasing the numbers of incoming tourism.

With 97 upscale hotel projects under development the marvellous metropole of the United Arab Emirates is ranked on top of the 11 global cities with most hotel projects.

Although Dubai is still leading in terms of hotel construction, in Las Vegas  the largest hotel projects are still set to  open within the next two years. For this study tophotelprojects.com analyzed facts and data of over 4,300 upscale hotel projects worldwide.

Despite the credit crunch the hotel development business in the United Arab Emirates keeps doing well. For example the amazing ‘Dubailand' project developed by Tatweer / Dubai Holding will be realized with several large theme and event-oriented hotels.

Among the listed projects one still finds the ‘Asia Asia' hotel project with nearly 6,500 guest rooms scheduled to open in the coming years. With a new, large international hub for long-distance flights, Dubai expects strongly increasing numbers of business travellers and leisure guests.

With the new 828 metre landmark ‘Burj Chalifa', making it the highest tower on earth, Dubai became top of the tops.
