Ras Al Khaimah has recorded a double digit growth in visitor numbers and guest nights during Eid Al Fitr, compared to the corresponding period last year, according to figures released by the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA).
The latest figures released by RAKTDA reveal the emirate attracted 16,636 hotel guests during the July Eid weekend, generating 30,220 guest nights. These numbers represent 10.7 per cent and 17.4 per cent increases, respectively, on the same period in 2015.
"Ras Al Khaimah has positioned itself as a destination of choice for those across the globe and these results are a strong indication of the appeal of the emirate for travellers," Haitham Mattar, CEO of the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, said.
Recognised as one of the region's fastest growing destinations, the RAKTDA figures show record growth across key indicators including hotel guests, room revenues, F&B revenues and occupancy rates. Hotel occupancy during Eid Al Fitr reached 86.6 per cent - 10.6 per cent higher than in 2015, while revenue per available room (RevPar) grew by 12.7 per cent over the same period.
"Ras Al Khaimah is a year-round tourist destination, and we have worked closely with our industry partners to promote the emirate's offering and optimise visitation during the summer months and beyond. In addition to our great beaches and resorts, one of our key attractions is Jebel Jais, the tallest mountain in the UAE, which provides temperatures 10 degrees cooler than found at sea level and is ideal for outdoor sports and adventure, camping and picnicking," Mattar said.
