Dubai's a nail-biter: Residents are paid to bring guests

Dubai is struggling with a significant decline in tourism due to the ongoing conflict between the United States and Israel on one side, and Iran on the other. To revive the sector, local authorities have introduced the 'Dubai Invite' program, offering residents financial incentives if they invite friends or family from abroad. Participants receive packages worth over 3,000 dirhams (approximately 720 euros), including hotel stays, restaurant discounts, and tickets to tourist attractions. The initiative comes amid a sharp drop in international visitors, with airlines reducing flights to the region and some hotels temporarily closing for renovations. Tourism revenue has reportedly fallen by more than half, and the crisis has extended to the real estate market.
