Dubai's tourism sector continues to thrive, attracting a remarkable 10.62 million international visitors in the first seven months of 2024. This represents an 8% rise from the 9.83 million tourists who visited during the same period last year. According to the Department of Economy and Tourism's latest report, the city's strategic efforts to boost tourism are paying off.
Monthly Visitor Breakdown
Dubai’s appeal remains steady, with tourism numbers consistently high month-over-month. Here’s the breakdown of international tourists for 2024 so far:
Top Tourist Markets

Tourism and Dubai Real Estate Trends
Dubai’s tourism success directly correlates with its booming real estate market, where demand for off-plan properties, luxury residences, and waterfront communities continues to surge. As more international tourists and investors flock to the city, Dubai’s prime real estate locations, such as Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Hills Estate, continue to attract global attention.
With tourism numbers increasing and the off-plan market thriving, Dubai’s property market benefits from sustained investor interest, high rental yields, and proactive government policies.
Popular developments like Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai Marina, and Town Square also cater to a diverse range of international buyers looking to capitalize on the city’s growth.
