Dubai attracted more than 13 million visitors last year, official figures released on Monday showed, as the emirate looks to reap the rewards of its growing tourism sector.
A total of 13.2 million foreigners headed to Dubai in 2014, an increase of 8.2 per cent compared with the previous year, its tourism department said.
It said it hoped to attract 20 million tourists a year to Dubai by 2020, when the city will host a World Expo.
Figures released in March showed that hotels in the emirate posted a 9.8 per cent rise in revenues to $6.5 billion (5.8 billion euros) last year -- the sector's best annual result since the 2009 financial crisis.
Turmoil in most of the traditional tourism destinations across the Middle East appears to have helped Dubai capitalise on its reputation as a safe haven for tourists and businesses.
