Trips to Dubai for Travel & Tourism Students

Over the past twenty years, Dubai has transformed itself from a nearly-barren desert, to a global powerhouse for business and tourism.

The country’s incredible development and booming tourism sector makes it a fascinating destination for students of travel and tourism; allowing them to understand the main reasons why people travel (business and leisure) and the changes in consumer tastes. Thanks to the country’s wealth, your students will also get an insight into how economic factors have an instrumental effect on the development of tourism destinations.

One of the key reasons for Dubai’s transformation as a leading tourism destination, is their amazing feats of engineering and their unrivalled infrastructure.  Pride of place on the Dubai skyline is the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Equally impressive are other skyscrapers such as the Burj Al Arab and the Al Fattan Tower. The Dubai Marina is the world’s largest man-made marina and features a further six towers.

Dubai is also home to one of the most ambitious developments ever attempted, the Palm Jumeirah. A man made archipelago that is large enough to be seen from space and is being heralded as the 8th wonder of the world.

With an increasing population, Dubai has a diverse culture and thanks to its old town of Deira, your travel and tourism students can explore the history of the area and the natural attraction of the surrounding desert.
