Dubai's hotel sector is set to expand dramatically over the coming years. In 2006 Dubai hotel occupancy rates were the highest in the world at 86%. If you look closer at the 5 star hotel segment the occupancy rates are even higher at 92%. This is even with the highest price per room at $232 US. These rates are even great

If you really want to understand the reason for these fantastic numbers think of what is around Dubai to begin with:
1. Saudi Arabia - hardly an hour by air
2. Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Iran - less than an hour
All these countries offer very little in the form of entertainment - but Dubai goes a very long way! Clubs, Live entertainment shows, and most importantly, cultural freedom attract all these arabs to Dubai.
Money to these is not a bar to their leisure activities, they are millionaires, so Dubai is cashing in.
Occupancy rates are indeed in the 90s - most hotels have block bookings for travel agents and tour operators so they are always booked for transit passengers and visitors.
