Emirates, which flies to over 150 cities in 80 countries, plays a significant role in boosting Dubai’s tourism agenda.

The emirate welcomed 4.57 million visitors in the first quarter of this year, up 11 per cent compared to Q1 2016.

Dubai Tourism attributed the rise in visitors to significant growth in Chinese and Russian arrivals, up 64 per cent and 106 per cent respectively on the previous year.
