Dubai Hotels Charged Guests Despite Eviction Ban Claims
In response to widespread flight disruptions affecting over 1,500 flights across the region, Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) has mandated hotels to extend necessary support to stranded tourists. This includes allowing guests to extend their stays under the original booking conditions and preventing any evictions. Hotels are instructed to inform the DET if a guest cannot cover extension costs, with the authority to then potentially cover these expenses, mirroring similar directives from Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism and the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority.
