    Dubai witnesses hotel construction boom

    (MENAFN) STR Global, in its December study, said that Dubai has more than 13,300 hotel rooms in the construction pipeline, Arabian Business reported. The figure is larger than the total of the next four largest markets for hotel construction in MENA region, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Cairo and Amman. Data from the study showed that Abu Dhabi has 5,298 rooms, Riyadh has 2,687 rooms, Cairo has 1,977 rooms and Amman with 1,507 rooms. Overall, the region's development pipeline comprised 496 hotels totalling 133,438 rooms last month, STR Global said. The study of hotels in six regional cities showed that Dubai saw occupancy increase to 87.3 percent. Ernst & Young said earlier this month said that Dubai hotels have been able to sustain revenues last year despite the large stock of new rooms added to the market. STR also said that Dubai was the only tourist destination in the region that has shown a rise in both occupancy and revenue per available room with a limited decline in room rates. TRI Hospitality Consulting said in December said that occupancy levels at hotels in Dubai touched 2007 levels in October.
