Of course. There are lots of local decicion makers who have not visited Dubai. Promotion tour is allready planned! And Dubai won't send any tourists here. Just rich arabs to buy houses.
Do people hate the poor here?
Steve PickeringNo Steve new hotels will be 4 5 or even 6? stars. They will not be located in places where social housing should be located . One because many people would protest about them being located in those places and two because its never going to happen anyway. Social housing will go, when built, where its always gone, the low income sector of towns and cities, edge of flood plains, near airport flight paths or industrial areas. I am sure they would love five star views but they aint gonna get them.
Do you want tourists or not ?the kill a tourist story would suggest otherwise.
As residents in Mallorca flights to Sharjah (dump of an airport) would add nothing. If anything you want Emirates and Qatar Airways here to provide a gateway to and from the island to the whole of Asia and Australia. THAT would be of interest.
Sitting here reading these stories about China and USA tourism, and how the various tourist boards are targeting the various nations. I was struck by the thought. The people who are complaining about too many tourists. How do they feel about this, or is it the fact that US tourists maybe wont be doing the AI hotels, and will be using the bars and restaurants. At the end of the day all these other tourists are still going to be taking rentals and new hotels will still be built in places where social housing should go.
