In parallel, Umrah travel saw exponential growth, sales increasing by 219%, driven by rising demand and enhanced product offerings.

DW Travel also expanded its operational capabilities in 2025 with the launch of a dedicated Meetings, Groups and Events (MGE) department, which delivered immediate impact with a 71% increase in conference bookings.

In addition, the company opened Al Dana by DW Travel typing centre, further strengthening its visa and documentation services.

Leisure travel remained a strong contributor to overall performance. The UAE continued to lead as the top destination, while Japan emerged as the most booked international destination by hotel room nights.

Other popular leisure destinations included Saudi Arabia, the UK, Japan, Thailand, Turkey, Seychelles, and the USA, reflecting customers’ growing appetite for diverse global experiences.

The company increased its investment in marketing and brand awareness, leveraging a mix of consumer and corporate events, paid media campaigns, social media, SEO, content marketing, and PR activities to strengthen its presence in the market.

On the technology front, DW Travel continued to enhance its proprietary corporate booking platform, DWT for Business, successfully onboarding new corporate customers while advancing the platform’s development to improve user experience and efficiency.

Looking ahead to 2026, DW Travel will focus on diversifying its business verticals and accelerating new IT developments to further enhance its service offering and operational capabilities.

From expanding globally through Uniglobe Travel to achieving exceptional growth in key segments like visas, VIP travel, and events, we have built strong momentum. Throughout this current period of disruption, our priority remains firmly on supporting our customers and ensuring continuity of service. As Dubai continues its path back towards full normalisation in air travel, we are confident in our ability to come back even stronger - driven by resilience, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional travel experiences.” -TradeArabia News Service
