UAE: As the Dubai Expo 2020 opens on October 1, air ticket costs between India and the UAE have risen dramatically. One-way airline prices from South Indian destinations like as Kozhikode and Kochi have been reported to be as high as Dh 2,000 close to departure, according to travel agents.
Indian tourists are flocking to the UAE in big numbers to see family, seek better career chances, and attend the Dubai Expo 2020, according to travel agents. On their trip to Saudi Arabia, a large number of travelers are quarantined.
Flight rates and demand from India to the UAE are now very expensive, with one-way tickets ranging from Dh 1,500 to Dh 2,000 from places such as Kozhikode and Kochi. This is because tourists are welcome to return to the UAE, and Saudi quarantine travelers account for a large portion of the demand.
Passengers desiring to fly to Saudi Arabia stay in the UAE for 14-15 days, taking advantage of the country’s tourist attractions in the meantime. Every day, an average of 2,000 tourist visa applications are accepted. Mumbai, Delhi, and all of South India are in high demand. However, travel agents have predicted that after October 15, the demand for Expo2020 tickets will skyrocket.
Families, job seekers, and visitors to Expo 2020 make up the majority of the travelers. Several Indian expats who are planning vacations from India have stated that they will surely visit the Expo pavilions.
