ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORT: A SWOT ANALYSIS FOR DUBAI
INTRODUCTION
To begin with, Dubai is popular global tourist destination located within the United Arab
Emirates, UAE federation. Over the recent past it has emerged as a cosmopolitan metropolis that
has continued to attract massive investment particularly in the tourism, financial services, real
estate and aviation industry (Krane, Dubai : the story of the world's fastest city).
A SWOT analysis is an acronym for Strengths, weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of which
is an approach designed to identify areas that an organisation may be able to improve upon as
well as highlight areas that need enhancement to sustain and improve growth. In this regard,
Dubai is looked on a judgmental basis to draw meaningful information under these aspects. It is
therefore worth noting that an emphasis on these strengths, improvement on weaknesses, and
assertiveness on tapping the available opportunities as well as monitoring threats could guarantee
a stable path of growth and a prosperous Dubai even in the future.
STRENGTHS
Wealth from vast mineral oil deposits
Although the future of Dubai’s oil reserves is constrained by the level of exploitation which
stands at 70,000 barrels a day (Ali), they are relatively vast compared to many oil producing
regions. In fact they are ranked as the seventh largest deposits in the world. This natural
endowment therefore presents Dubai with a prospect of improving its economy through revenues
generated from oil and natural gas sales. In fact it can be noted that Dubai’s economy has by a
great extent continued to develop as a result of revenues from oil and gas exports.

State of the art facilities for both tourism and human settlement
Dubai is a home to the some of the world biggest shopping malls, world’s tallest building Burji
Khalifa, hotels and recreation facilities, ancient and modern attractions besides fast growing state
of the art real estate facilities. These possessions give the city a comparative advantage over its
competitors of which has apparently enabled it to become the seventh most visited city in the
world as per the statistics of 2013 (Jacobs, Deborah L) representing a growth of about 10.7%
from the previous year.
Political neutrality and Impartiality
Dubai has been keen of adopting policies that keep it neutral to changes in political factors
outside its jurisdiction. In its strategic plan, it seeks to give an insight on its vision that aims at
achieving sustained development in its infrastructure, human resources and its economy.
Additionally, the protection of national interests is highlighted as a major concern to protecting
the public interest and the general wellbeing (Krane, City of gold : Dubai and the dream of
capitalism).
WEAKNESSES
A global hub with few people from UAE
Dubai has a population that well exceeds two million people from recent statistics. Among these
people who are either the natives or immigrants, only 17% are Emiratis with Indians forming the
bulk of immigrants followed by the Pakistani and Bangladeshi among others. As a result, only a
few of Emiratis get the opportunity to benefit from the city through employment and the services
offered within Dubai.
