The Gulf has a reputation as a five-star destination, dominated by top-end hotels and premium airlines, but the low-cost/limited service sector is starting to come into its own and broadening the horizons of a region in much need of a more diversified tourism infrastructure offering. This panel session discusses what the low-cost sector has to offer and why it is vital for the region’s future growth. What new business does this sector attract and how much more potential is there for low-cost airlines, hotels and other ancillary products to grow?
