Brands hope to encourage travellers back to the city
Emirates and Atlantis Dubai have launched summer promotions to encourage travellers back to Dubai.
International holidaymakers travelling through and to Dubai with Emirates’ comprehensive travel cover are eligible to receive an equivalent resort credit when booking a stay at Atlantis, The Palm or Atlantis The Royal.
Atlantis Dubai said it has introduced its value-added initiative to encourage travel to Dubai while offering guests “greater flexibility and added benefits when booking their stay”.
Redeemable as resort credit during their stay, it can be used across a wide range of experiences across both resorts.
International guests staying at Atlantis, The Palm or Atlantis The Royal just need to present their Emirates travel insurance certificate upon arrival.
Meanwhile, Emirates passengers can have a free stay at the five-star JW Marriott Marquis in Dubai.
Until July 12, travellers who purchase an Emirates return ticket in First Class or Business Class are eligible for a two-night stay, while customers booked in Premium Economy Class or Economy Class can have a one-night stay.
This special offer is valid for all return tickets to or stopping over in Dubai for more than 24 hours, for customers travelling between June 25-September 30.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ deputy president and chief commercial officer, said: “Whether visitors are seeking relaxation, adventure, entertainment or a combination of all three, Dubai is the ideal start to any summer vacation.
“We’re inviting passengers to enjoy even more of the city with a complimentary hotel stay to take advantage of the exceptional range of shopping, entertainment, dining and family-friendly experiences that define the Dubai summer experience, when stopping over as part of your journey or visiting Dubai as your final destination.”
The UK travel trade is predicting a bounce‑back in long-haul summer sales as consumer confidence returns following the relaxation in Foreign Office travel advice to the Gulf.
The FCDO dropped advice against all-but-essential travel to the United Arab Emirates on June 18 after a memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran.
