UAE residents 'spend $6.6bn a year on travel'
Saturday, 23. June 2012, 05:50
An UAE resident spends Dh80,808 ($22,000) every year on flights and accommodation alone, totalling $6.6 billion annually on outbound travel, according to a research by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation.

Another study unveiled at Arabian Travel Market in 2012 said the UAE nationals are the second most frequent travellers in the GCC (following Saudi nationals), with 53 per cent travelling to between two and five countries for leisure or pleasure within the next year – and 40 to 60 per cent on a business class flight.

Recognising the distinct travel and lifestyle needs of the UAE’s affluent, travel-savvy market segment, UAE-based Majid Al Futtaim Finance has launched the Najm Platinum Visa credit card and PremiumRewardsloyalty program.

Majid Al Futtaim Finance, a subsidiary of MAF Ventures, said PremiumRewards provides real-time redemption of travel rewards anytime, from anywhere, on any route and without blackout dates, delivering the region’s ultimate reward programme to frequent business and leisure travellers in the Middle East.
