Dubai Sees 3% Growth in Tourism During Q1 2025, Says DCTCM

Dubai continues to prove that its vision for the future of tourism is not just ambitious — it’s achievable. In the first quarter of 2025, the city recorded a 3% year-on-year increase in overnight visitors, according to the Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM). Coming off a record-breaking 2024, where Dubai welcomed 18.72 million guests, this steady growth reaffirms the city’s place among the world’s top destinations for business, leisure, and innovation.

A Vision Beyond Tourism Numbers

Dubai’s growth story isn’t just about attracting more tourists.
It’s about building a city that people around the world want to visit, live in, and invest in.
Guided by the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, the city is working toward becoming one of the top three global destinations for business and leisure.

This momentum is powered by more than stunning skyscrapers and luxurious resorts — it’s fueled by visionary leadership, smart public-private partnerships, and a bold focus on innovation and sustainability.

Dubai doesn’t just welcome tourists — it creates unforgettable experiences.
