Craig Hewitt, Partner-Founder and CEO of Wego Hotels, stated: "We are witnessing a significant increase in hotel search operations within the country via Wego with the approach of Eid al-Fitr holiday, as many residents are heading to spend the holiday within the UAE." He added: "The safe environment and stability in the country contribute to enhancing customers' confidence, which reflects in an increased demand for local resorts and stays within the UAE." According to Wego, this rise reflects a broader trend towards high-quality short holidays, where many UAE residents are reconsidering long-distance travel plans and opting to spend the holiday within the country. Wego, the online travel marketplace in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, revealed a growing trend among UAE residents towards local stays across the country with the approach of Eid al-Fitr holiday. According to Wego data, hotel search operations have seen a noticeable increase, with strong demand for four and five-star beach resorts, relaxation resorts, and luxury hotels in Dubai and various parts of the UAE. Wego revealed that luxury beach resorts top the list of most searched-for options before the holiday, especially hotels that offer private beaches, spacious villas, family-friendly facilities, and unique dining experiences. Stays focused on wellness and relaxation are also seeing increased interest.
