Real Estate Tourism in Dubai
Real Estate Tourism
Let's investigate a connection between these two markets. After all, tourism is AbOUT visiting new places and having new experiences, and Real Estate is about selling these physical entities.
There are many kinds of "tours" that make up the Tourism market; adventure, cultural and heritage tourism, city tours, cruises, entertainment tours and more... Looking at the UAE and more closely at Dubai, there is remarkable and commendable effort being undertaken to promote the whole gamut of experiences that tourists and visitors crave.
An example of how real estate and tourism fits together can be a case study for places witnessing a boom in real estate such as India and the UAE. Where else in the world can you have a ski weekend or Ski vacation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_Dubai in mid summer temperatures in the upper CELSIUS range? or evergreen golf courses designed by world famous personalities. Artificially created kilometers of coastline by such projects as the Palm Jumeirah and Palm Jebel Ali can put Dubai on par with other world famous island resort destinations. Unique to Dubai is another niche tourism circuit, shopping tours that the multitude of extravagant malls offer.
As Real Estate is maturing in this region, 1 there is no denying that these places are on the tourists' map, and there is no lack of visitors (with a high conversion rate to investor level) who on arrival, almost immediately wish they had a holiday home, thanks to the sunshine, and general environment. 2
One can improvise already established practices used by real estate agencies such as project tours.
What is Real Estate Tourism By customizing discounted accommodation and short holiday stays themselves for tourists, Real Estate agencies can go one step further than Tour companies, who are only interested in generating revenue from A Tour. You offer much more; a discounted stay, local investment and real estate knowledge and guidance that can soon turn a tourist into an investor.
Retail Tourism? With projects such as Business Bay, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Bay already completed or nearing completion, there is much scope for 'Business Tourists'. A Real Estate Agency can arrange for accommodation within these projects or nearby, and conduct a guided tour of retail and commercial investment opportunities to get started in 'business tourism' Real Estate agencies do have an edge over just a regular tour company, and in fact, could tie up with them to offer Real Estate Tourism on their in-bound tour agenda!
