Dubai Hotel Occupancy to Plummet to 10% in Q2
Summary
Dubai's hotel occupancy is forecast to plummet to a mere 10% in Q2 2026, a dramatic fall from 80% in February, according to Moody's Analytics. This decline represents a significant downturn in the hospitality sector due to the ongoing Iran war. Hosts in the region should expect a prolonged period of suppressed occupancy, likely extending into early next year.
