Driven by Dubai Business Events (DBE), the city’s official convention bureau and part of the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), this performance represents a 15 per cent year-on-year increase in successful bids, further reinforcing Dubai’s global competitiveness as a business events hub aligned with long-term economic priorities.
The events secured during 2025 are expected to attract an estimated 272,262 delegates to Dubai through 2029, representing a 29 per cent increase in delegate numbers compared to 209,545 delegates secured in 2024. This will generate direct impact across the city’s meetings, incentives and conferences segments within Dubai’s wider travel and tourism ecosystems. Beyond delegate numbers, these events will bring global expertise, talent, and investment opportunities to the city.
Ahmed Al Khaja, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, said, “Guided by the vision of our leadership, business events continue to play a pivotal role in supporting Dubai’s economic growth, knowledge economy, and global positioning.”
