Copthorne Hotel Dubai Sees ITB Berlin as the Perfect Platform to Boost Visitor Numbers from Europe

AL BARSHA, UAE - March 7, 2016 - PRLog -- Copthorne Hotel Dubai believes that The Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing's (DTCM) initiative to develop Deira and Khor Dubai along with Al Shindagha, Bur Dubai and Al Fahidi districts as the leading culture and heritage sites is a positive step to inform visitors about the beauty & importance of these areas.

Glenn Nobbs, General Manager of the Copthorne Hotel Dubai, said "These heritage areas are the cultural soul of Dubai and were vital for the city’s development when it was in its infancy. We are delighted to have the good fortune of being well placed to support the Emirate's tourism thrust as well as benefit from this fabulous initiative. Centrally located in Port Saeed, Deira and within close proximity to the old souks, Dubai Museum, Abra rides and other heritage areas, makes us the ideal choice for those looking to experience the local culture. Our concierge team are more than happy to help create a stay experience so you can maximise your time in the ‘old town’. "

According to DTCM’s statistics, Dubai welcomed 14.2 million visitors in 2015, a rise of 7.5% from 2014. With arrivals from Western Europe up 6.1% it highlights the importance of ITB Berlin.
