UAE - Thailand, Maldives, UK, Canada, and Turkey are the ‘top five’ most popular destinations for UAE travellers booking an international holiday in September and October 2023 with Dubai-based dnata Travel, so far.

The UAE continues to be dnata Travel’s number one top booked destination overall, as staycations remain popular, particularly as the weather starts to cool.

“Our ‘top five’ international destinations, including the Maldives, are year-round in popularity, however Canada is a surprise entry into this list of top trending destinations this year,” said Meerah Ketait, Head of Retail and Leisure UAE at dnata Travel.

“Toronto is the most popular location for UAE travellers, while we predict to see more bookings in mountain resorts for skiing this winter. While travel from the UAE has eased in 2023, as air travel capacity has increased to 21 flights per week from April 20, Emirates has added Montreal to its route list from July.”

Following these destinations in dnata Travel’s overall ‘top ten’, Germany has seen an impressive 150% increase in bookings compared to the same period last year, according to Ketait.

dnata Travel currently has a campaign running with the German National Tourist Board promoting eco-retreats amidst nature and city break offers, she said.
