Dubai holiday homes working for business travellers

If it’s business that takes you to Dubai then staying in one of the holiday homes advertised by holidaylettings.co.uk could make for a successful work trip. Virtually all (98%) Dubai short term rental properties advertised on the site provide internet access for guests, at no extra charge.

“With many British based companies doing business in Dubai it appears that property investors are maximising the facilities they offer in order to target the short term business traveller,” comments Ross Elder, MD of holidaylettings.co.uk.”

•85% of short term rental properties are apartments
•28% have only one bedroom
•77% have two bedrooms
•Enquiry rate for Dubai accommodation is 29% above average

These figures highlight how the holiday home market in Dubai is targeting business people looking for a bolthole from which they can work, sleep and entertain whilst staying there on business.

“Having such a strong demand for this type of accommodation and location demonstrates that developers in Dubai are building for the right market and that the market appreciates what is available,” added Ross Elder.
