sector is set to expand dramatically over the coming years. In 2006 Dubai hotel occupancy rates were the highest in the world at 86%. If you look closer at the 5 star hotel segment the occupancy rates are even higher at 92%. This is even with the highest price per room at $232 US. These rates of hotels in Dubai are even greater than the 5 star price per room night of cities such as New York and Paris.

Hotel rates are high looking at the tourists pouring in. Demand greatly outnumbers supply so we have such prices. As construction steers more hotels into the city we will have better, affordable options in future.

If they want to achieve the 15 million visitors they are after they for sure prices need to come down.They need to be offering package deals like the ones you can get for Florida at next to nothing.
