On February 25th the participants of forum on www.tourdom.ru discussed changes in the UAE visa regime. In particular, cancellation of visas to children written in their parents’ foreign passports from March 1st was discussed. The participants referred to their own sources in the Emirates. However, the Office of Tourism and Commercial Marketing of Dubai did not confirm this information to a BANKO correspondent. ‘At the moment we have no official information about such innovations. However, it does not mean they do not plan them’, said Sergey Kanaev, the Head of the Office.
Representatives of tour operating companies that specialize in the UAE market doubt the changes in visas for children could affect tourist flow. Dmitry Artyunov, General Director of Art-tour, said: ‘Visas for children cost $ 30, therefore its cancellation will not affect the destination popularity especially in the situation of high demand’.
