Omar Khoory, Chief Assets Officer at Nakheel, said:
“Nakheel continues to create and deliver ground-breaking destinations for UAE residents and tourists, and in turn contribute positively to Dubai’s tourism and leisure sectors. We are humbled that The Palm Jumeirah – and key destinations on the island that were all successfully opened despite the challenges of the pandemic – have been recognised at The World Travel Awards. These prestigious accolades represent more milestones for Dubai’s tourism sector and are even more reason to celebrate the ever-growing wonder of Palm Jumeirah.”
