Following the announcement of the economic stimulus by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai to reinforce Dubai’s economy in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism) held a workshop on vacation ownership at Arabian Travel Market 2018. Representatives from the world’s biggest players in the vacation ownership industry plus key government stakeholders from the Supreme Legislation Committee, the Dubai Land Department and Dubai Department of Economic Development and local developers MAF and EMAAR attended the session on how Dubai can facilitate the growth of this important sector.

The workshop was a valuable opportunity to consult with industry professionals and tap their knowledge and expertise ahead of new timeshare legislation due to be rolled out in Dubai in the coming months aimed at striking a fair balance between consumer protection and the commercial interests of developers.
