India has always been a strategic partner to the UAE, and Jumeirah Group embodies the Arabian hospitality much loved by the Indian market, continuing to be the preferred choice for various a-list actors, businessmen, film makers, extravagant weddings, and more. MICE and corporate travel are also significant drivers of inbound tourism to the UAE, as trade increasingly flourishes between the countries. Business partnerships, healthcare, and tourism, which is reflected in the continuous rise in inbound Indian travellers to the UAE, is anticipated to grow further once travel restrictions ease.

We see Connect Worldwide’s appointment as a reflection of the immense efforts invested in this market, and as a further step to ensuring our exemplary offering is aligned with their unique needs, whether that’s for leisure, dining or family experiences or the crafting of unique, personalised stays.”
