Hotels in Dubai have noticed an early increase in interest for stays during the Cop28 summit.
With about eight months to go before the climate talks, which run from November 30 to December 12, hoteliers say it is still too early to gauge precise numbers but enquiries have increased and some hotels plan to run daily shuttle buses to the Cop28 venue at Expo City Dubai.
Prices have already surged by about 200 per cent at some hotels for the summit's opening night and hoteliers and hospitality experts are expecting a busy time.
There are typically two main zones at Cop28 summits. The blue zone is off limits to the public and this is where the negotiations take place. The green zone, however, is usually open to the public.
Tens of thousands of people are expected in Dubai for the summit. World leaders, ministers, negotiators and climate advocates and activists from the front lines of the climate crisis will converge on the city for about a fortnight of intense talks at Expo City Dubai to galvanise global efforts to tackle the emergency.
The climate summit will also coincide with the UAE’s National Day celebrations on December 2, and, while there are still rooms across a wide range of prices available on hotel websites and aggregators such as Booking.com, interest is starting to rise.
