Two beautiful awe-inspiring islands:
Simon Leigh, who is the general manager of Premier Inn Middle East, was amazed by both Palm Jumeirah and Jebel Ali. He told Hotelier Middle East, “It’s been just under two years since I moved to Dubai to run Premier Inn Middle East, and the city’s creativity, innovation, and forward-thinking attitude continue to amaze and inspire me.”
Dubai’s hospitality and tourism offerings are already the best in the world, and the reopening of Palm Jebel Ali, with its 80 hotels, will strengthen the emirate’s position as a world-class place to visit, trade, live, and play. Premier Inn is still growing in the UAE and other parts of the region, and we’re proud to be a part of Dubai’s constantly growing hotel industry.
Golbarg says that Palm Jebel Ali might offer different choices than Palm Jumeirah, but Faisal Durrani, Partner and Head of Middle East Research at Knight Frank, thinks that the site will still attract the rich and famous.
He said, “The return of Palm Jebel Ali is definitely good news for the market, especially considering how hard it is to find beachfront property and how much people want to live the “Dubai life,” especially wealthy people from other countries. Tourism and hospitality are important parts of the economy, so having more resorts will give travelers from all over the world even more options. This is important if the state wants people to keep coming back.
