Dubai Resolution Nos. 48 and 49/2014
Analysis
On 7 December 2014, the Executive Council of Dubai (“EC”) passed Resolution Nos. 48 and 49 of 2014 (the “New Resolutions”) introducing a new set of fees and fines covering, respectively, Hotel Establishments and Holiday Homes in Dubai.
The passing of the New Resolutions should come as no surprise with the need for Dubai to further strengthen its Hospitality sector in anticipation of Expo 2020. The New Resolutions fall within the same vision adopted earlier by Dubai, and which we have previously discussed in a paper entitled “Dubai's New Hotel Industry Initiatives” (See March 2014 Law Update).
