This is an article about another facet of tourism in Dubai: the welcoming of cruise ships.
I have chosen this article for two main reasons.
Firstly, it shows an unrecognized aspect of the tourism in Dubai. Usually, when talking about Dubai we think about its amazing hotels like the Burl Al Arab, its cutting edge architecture, its huge malls, its gigantic projects like the Palm with hotels and so many facilities for tourists. Even if Dubai is located on the seaside, we do not always think about its activities related to ports. But Dubai is becoming one the most important platform for cruise ships. This is another part of the conversion of the economy of the emirate imagined by Sheikh Mo. And this part is increasing year after year. We must not forget that ships brigs thousands of tourists each time they dock in Dubai. We can consider that each ocean liner is a short-lived hotel.
And even when a difficult economic situation, it seems that the demand will not collapse. On the contrary, if seaborne companies adjust their offer, the number of tourist will keep its growth.
Secondly, this article shows something unexpected about Dubai. It seems that the Dubai administration made some mistakes when building the port facilities. Usually they plan bigger and more than necessary. But according to Costa Cruises there are some quality issues with the services provides to the tourists.
But we can be confident in the reaction of the Dubai Tourism Administration because everywhere else the quality of service is one of the major selling points of Dubai facilities.
