Dubai: A Success Story
Dubai is a rare success story in the Middle East, and whether its a glitzy anomaly or a replicable model for the developing world, there is simply no other place that draws a parallel. With its Manhattan-style skyline, world-class port, and colossal, duty-free shopping malls, Dubai now attracts more tourists than the whole of India, more shipping vessels than Singapore, and more foreign capital than many European countries. Global in outlook, cosmopolitan in nature, sophisticated in business and efficient in service, Dubai is hailed as the icon of internationalism.Typical of most of the Arabian Gulf, night skies in Dubai are illuminated by floodlights on top of offshore machinery but the difference is distinct - it’s not the oil rigs but work on construction cranes that punctuate the city’s skyline. With barely 6% of its economic output generated by oil, Dubai has been wisely investing in a different sort of future, replacing hydrocarbons with people, as it has expanded to be the business hub of the region. To ride on its whopping economic growth wave, over 150 nationalities have made this city their melting pot resulting in an epic building boom with man-made islands and truly iconic structures.
The 1.4 million residents enjoy a quality of life synonymous with affluent societies. Dubai ensures that high government investment in amenities like water, electricity, transport, healthcare, education and recreational facilities is underlined by reliability and efficiency. Complementing the physical infrastructure, the data systems capabilities have grown at an astronomical rate ensuring that the city remains at the forefront of international development with an active presence in the cyberspace and e-commerce arena.
Beyond the business world, Dubai offers its visitors a variety of experiences – from rugged mountains to amorphous sand-dunes, pristine beaches to lush golf courses, timeless souks to fashionable shopping malls, ancient minarets to towering residences…the list is endless. It is little wonder that tourism drives over 12% of the new economy and is targeting 11% by 2015. Disputation haustellum remotability heterosmia endowments.
