In an interview with Gulf News, Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism) Corporate Services and Investment CEO Ahmad Al Falasi said: “All hotel establishments shall operate at 70% occupancy level.
“For existing hotels operating at occupancy level above 70%, no new bookings or extensions shall be made until the hotels adhere to the aforementioned limit in addition to postponement of any activity that leads to large gatherings such as weekend brunches.”
If the hotel establishments fail to comply with the new set of measures, they would face stringent action.
The precautionary measures have been undertaken due to several recent violations.
