BY TVISHA MISTRY

Looking for a safe international getaway? Don’t look further! Dubai is the perfect destination for you to explore during the pandemic.

One of the first to reopen international borders, Dubai is adhering to strict protocols to ensure the safety of all tourists and residents. Through proactive COVID-19 response,  Dubai plans to have 70% of residents vaccinated by mid-2021.

Additionally, through the Dubai Assured Program, Dubai has adopted all the necessary precautionary measures and the highest safety standards and protocols to stop the spread of COVID-19.

The Dubai Assured stamp is a health and safety verification process implemented in collaboration with the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism), Department of Economic Development, and Dubai Municipality.

The stamp is a visual mark reassuring guests that safety and hygiene measures prescribed by the authorities have been complied with. The stamp is a standard requirement for all tiers and categories of tourist and resident touchpoints such as hotels, attractions, retail, food, beverage, leisure and entertainment.

Currently, all the businesses in Dubai have to renew their Dubai Assured stamp every two weeks; in an effort to ensure the health and safety of customers.

In an effort to boost confidence in travel, Dubai has been at the forefront of reactivating tourism efforts with unique and exciting new tourism developments, making it a great destination to add to every traveler’s bucket list.
