The latest Middle East and Africa hotel cConstruction report by TOPHOTELPROJECTS, commissioned by The Hotel Show Dubai 2017, the 18th edition that concluded on Wednesday, has identified the UAE as being the busiest country for hotel construction in the Middle East and Africa.
The region currently has more than 200 hotel projects in the pipeline, with Dubai (164 projects), Abu Dhabi (25 projects) and Ras Al Khaimah (12 projects) seen as the busiest areas for hotel construction in the UAE. Of these properties, 83 will open next year.
