🏝 Middle East's 89.6% international visitors concentrate on six destinations: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and Oman. Mabrian's report for Arabian Travel Market 2025 in Dubai indicates opportunities in mid-range quality hotels despite five-star dominance. Egypt's competitive rates correlate with high satisfaction, while Saudi Arabia's higher rates don't match guest experiences. UAE, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia's hotel categories are evenly distributed. Oman and Jordan need to diversify mid-range accommodations. Qatar's 60% five-star hotels aim for competitive luxury rates versus neighboring countries. Despite prices higher than $200/night, Qatar's satisfaction scores don't surpass regional competitors, while Saudi Arabia and UAE average $299 and $291, respectively. Sonia Huerta, VP of Mabrian, suggests leveraging distinctive value propositions and attractive rates to compete internationally and recommends strengthening mid-range hotel categories to boost visitor arrival, reduce seasonality, and diversify demand.
