South Asia was the next largest region by volume, bringing in 2.3 million visitors, reflecting a 21.7 per cent increase versus 2014, the figures reported.

Regionally, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) remained the foothold, supporting continued demand from neighbouring markets to Dubai, consequently delivering the highest share of visitor volumes for 2015, with a total of 3.3 million, up 12.8 per cent over 2014, it said.
