Dubai has officially opened its borders to international travellers following lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Emirates flight EK004 from London Heathrow carrying British visitors was one of the first to arrive at Dubai International Airport. Emirates currently flies from Dublin, Glasgow, London Heathrow, and Manchester to Dubai.
To mark Dubai?s reopening, Dubai Tourism unveiled the Ready When You Are campaign across YouTube and Instagram. The video, incorporating iconic views of Dubai, reminds visitors that the city is ready to welcome their return when they are ready to travel again.
Alongside, Dubai has been awarded with the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Safe Travels Stamp, following the due diligence shown across the industry to ensure safety and hygiene measures have been implemented to keep residents and visitors safe in the city.
Helal Saeed Almarri, director general, Dubai?s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism), said: ?As we reopen Dubai?s doors to tourism and welcome our international visitors back to the city, our foremost priority is their wellbeing, achieved through stringent hygiene and safety protocols that have been deployed across all tourist touch points. We trust that our efforts not only provide an optimised experience for our visitors, but also secure their health and that of their families, further cementing the confidence that our guests have had thus far in Dubai, and encouraging people from every corner of the world to visit one of the safest cities in the world this summer.?
