Sources & methodology

How these figures are published

Dubai Hospitality Intelligence brings together figures from named official and industry sources alongside original Dubai Hotels Magazine analysis. Reporting periods and sources are shown with each published metric so readers can distinguish current official statistics from industry benchmarks and our own editorial analysis.

Figures are updated when new source data becomes available. Where definitions differ between publishers, the relevant definition or reporting basis is identified alongside the figure.

Corrections are welcome and are handled through our published corrections process.
