A massive US$3.63 trillion is being invested in hotels, leisure projects, aviation developments, cruise lines, tourism promotion and supporting infrastructure, across the Middle East, according to the preliminary results of a research programme unveiled today.
The study covers 13 Middle Eastern countries for the period to 2020 and is to be published in full at the Hotel Show 2008, the Middle East's leading supplies exhibition to the region’s hospitality sector, taking place at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre from 8-10 June 2008.
The Middle East Industry Outlook 2020 is an update of a groundbreaking research study by Fast Future and Global Futures and Foresight (GFF) on the Future of Travel and Tourism in the Middle East.
Fast Future has conducted a detailed validation of development plans with major hotel groups, airlines, airports and travel and tourism boards across the region. The research identifies plans to invest at least US$580 billion in over 900 hotels across the region from Syria to Oman. The study found projected construction costs for the most recent announcements from over 72 developers, investors and operators vary from US$10,000 to US$5.71 million per room.
The largest components of the US$3.63 trillion investment were found to be US$1,042 billion for leisure developments and US$1,813 billion on tourism promotion and the supporting infrastructure. The 19 largest airlines in the region were expected to spend at least US$143 billion adding 876 planes to their fleets. The largest buyers in terms of aircraft purchased and total investment are expected to be Emirates – buying 245 aircraft at US$60 billion - and Qatar Airways purchasing 150 planes for US$52 billion.
The report also highlights six critical factors that could cause turbulence and confusion and have an adverse economic impact in the coming years: the global economic outlook, environmental challenges, human resources, safety and security, infrastructure and information availability and reliability.
