Travel demand to UK soars after ETA scheme for UAE nationals, stable airfares, and fast visa processing

By Staff Reporter

Dubai: UAE travel companies are seeing a significant rise in holiday bookings to the UK this summer, with agents reporting demand as ‘higher than usual.’

The UK remains a top destination for UAE travellers, a trend that has persisted for several years. However, this summer’s increased interest is attributed to several factors, including stable airfares ranging between Dh2,800 and Dh3,300 for direct flights (which is only a marginal increase compared to off-peak rates of Dh2,200 to Dh3,000).
