Dubai

Hotel booking engine for hotels in Dubai.

Dubai hotels compete with more OTA listings and more traveller nationalities than almost any city. City hotels, beach resorts and serviced apartments sell to leisure guests booking months ahead and business travellers booking the same day. A booking engine here has to handle Arabic and Russian-speaking guests, show every local fee up front, and keep the direct price below the OTAs night after night.

Hotels in Dubai

Dubai hotels compete with more OTA listings and more traveller nationalities than almost any city. City hotels, beach resorts and serviced apartments sell to leisure guests booking months ahead and business travellers booking the same day.

Guests come from India, the UK, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Europe and China, with peaks in the cooler months from October to April and around major events and exhibitions. Summer brings strong GCC family demand and staycations, when pool-and-brunch packages and kids-stay-free offers do well on the direct channel.
