Dubai, Feb 3 (AFP\/APP): More than seven million foreign tourists visited Dubai last year, marking a “remarkable turnaround”, the government of the Gulf city state hosting the Expo world fair announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

The figure was up 32 percent on 2020, the first full year of the corona virus pandemic, Dubai’s economy and tourism department said in a statement.<\/p>\n

It hailed the recovery as “a remarkable turnaround amid continuing global challenges”.<\/p>\n

This year, however, missile attacks since last month by Yemeni rebels on the United Arab Emirates of which Dubai is a member have prompted US and UK travel warnings.<\/p>\n

Missile and drone attacks by Huthi rebels in Yemen, in whose war the UAE is a military supporter of the government, have rattled the Gulf state’s image as a haven of stability in the turbulent Middle East.<\/p>\n

Dubai, home of the world’s tallest tower, super-luxury hotels and swanky nightclubs, has since October 1 hosted Expo 2020 which runs until March 31.<\/p>\n

The glitzy emirate, a trading and leisure hub, for which tourism is a pillar of the economy, attracted a massive 16.7 million tourists from the East and West in 2019, before Covid-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n

It has recorded a total of more than 850,000 cases of corona virus, including over 2,250 deaths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
