Dubai World Central Real Estate vice-president Mohammed Al Awadhi said: "This partnership feeds into DWC ‘s wider vision to develop a robust hospitality offering that supports Dubai’s ambition to become a global tourism hub and welcome 20 million tourists into the emirate by 2020.
"Our focus is to provide our partners the necessary infrastructure and facilities that guarantee connectivity and ease of access so they, in turn, can provide their customers with a unique experience.
"We anticipate considerable demand for hotel accommodation not only from passenger flows at the Al Maktoum International Airport and the Expo 2020, but also from business travellers associated with the wider DWC community."
Travellers are expected to benefit from Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road, which connects to most tourist attractions in Dubai.
