The Emirate comes in at number one when it comes to number of properties as there are 232 establishments with an average of 126 keys. Filippo Sona, Head of Hotels for Colliers International in the Mena region, says there is always room for more as around 79% of short term furnished apartments in Dubai are occupied which is very good when compared to the rest of the world.
