Dubai Ranked the World's Most Popular Destination by Tripadvisor

Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Awards has crowned Dubai as the most popular destination in the world for the second year in a row. Bali was ranked the world's second-most popular destination, while London, Rome and Paris rounded out the top five spots.

The quality and quantity of reviews and ratings submitted by millions of travellers from around the world determined the winners and their classification. They covered a period of 12 months from November 1, 2021, to October 31, 2022.

"Dubai’s tourism, hospitality and events sectors have been at the forefront of a rebound and acceleration of global growth in these sectors over the last two years and will continue to play a key role in shaping their evolution in the future," said His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's Crown Prince and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai.

The recognition also supports the goal of the recently launched D33 Economic Agenda to consolidate Dubai’s status as one of the world’s top three destinations for tourism and business.
