Dubai has now closed registrations for its ‘A Dubai Invite’ scheme after receiving more than 90,000 applications from residents for the initiative, which offers discounts and perks for inviting friends and family from overseas to visit the emirate.

Launched in July, the programme encouraged residents to become “ambassadors of the city by welcoming their loved ones to Dubai”. Under the scheme, residents could access benefits worth more than AED 3,000 (€700), including discounted hotel stays, dining offers and free or reduced-price tickets to some of Dubai’s biggest attractions.

According to the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), the “exceptional response” and strong demand saw the tourism body and its programme partners increase the number of benefit packages available by “more than three times”.
