The department has been maintaining a representation office for the Far East in Hong Kong and studying opening an office in China soon, he said.
Mr. bin Sulayem said Dubai can look forward to substantial increase in visitors from the Far East region in the coming years due to the aggressive marketing and promotional drive the department has been conducting.
