The Different Types of Tourism Licenses in Dubai
As we mentioned earlier, there are three different types of Tourism Licenses that you can apply for in Dubai. Here are the differences between the three licenses:
- Tourism license for outbound tour operator
This license allows a company to organize outbound trips. They assist people in the UAE who are visiting other countries. This company can operate from inside the UAE or from another country.
- Tourism license for inbound tour operator
With this license, the business owner will be able to organize trips for those visiting Dubai. This includes global conferences and exhibitions.
- Tourism license for travel agents
Travel agents will be able to sell plane tickets outside the country and help get visit visas for travelers.
New Government Requirements for the Tourism Industry in Dubai
There have been some changes to the requirements that are needed when applying for your Dubai Tourism License. The DTCM put these new changes into place to help simplify the license approval process.
- Bank Guarantee Changes
The government has changed the bank guarantee requirements for tourism licenses in Dubai. Originally there was a guarantee of AED 100,000 to AED 200,000 that was required for all licenses. This doesn’t apply anymore, which is great news for reducing travel agency license costs in Dubai.
- Space Requirement Changes
There was once a requirement of 300 sq ft. of space, but that doesn’t apply anymore.
- Document Changes
Educational certificates and experience letter for the company’s manager used to be required, but now they aren’t needed.
