Holidaymakers have been visiting Dubai for years now for its high class urban living as well as for its ability to offer natural and man-made seashores. One gets the idea of the planning and resources gone into developing Dubai's coastline once having personally visited them. A sustained focus on the development of beach tourism has given birth to a world class hospitality coming up along Dubai's seashores in roughly the last two decades or so. The bulk of this hospitality, which is a key for growing the city's tourism, is formed by Dubai beach hotels. Beach hotels such as Burj Al Arab, Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort and Dubai Marine Beach Resort have been in the forefront of promoting the message of Dubai holiday and leisure in the whole world.
Among all Dubai beach hotels, Burj Al Arab has contributed most significantly in promoting the cause of city's tourism. Its impressive photographs have been featured in various travelogues, business magazines, TV programs and in ads carrying the message of Dubai tourism, thus making Dubai holiday an attractive option for the travelers from across the world. According to industry watchers, Burj Al Arab has eaten more money in making than what it may ever return back as a business model, but it has already paid back immensely by attracting tourism inflow into the emirate.
