(MENAFN - Bangladesh Monitor) Dubai: The United Arab Emirates recorded world's second busiest hotel occupancy in 2020 after China following the government’s efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus, encourage domestic tourism and accelerate the industry’s recovery, the Ministry of Economy announced.
The country hosted 14.8 million guests who spent an average of 3.7 nights at 1,089 establishments in 2020 for a hotel occupancy rate of 54.7 per cent, according to the World Tourism Organisation and the Emirates Tourism Council.
'The UAE was able to quickly contain the outbreak’s impact on the local tourism sector,” said Belhoul Al Falasi, Chairman, Emirates Tourism Council and Minister of State for Entrepreneurship and SMEs.
'The country’s success was a result of relying on innovation and agility in its efforts to provide incentives, launch initiatives and create opportunities to accelerate the recovery of the tourism sector and boost its contribution to gross domestic product.”
The UAE – a regional tourism hub – outpaced the global average occupancy rate of 37 per cent and the Middle East’s 43 per cent, according to WTO and ETC data.
Chinese hotels grabbed top spot with an occupancy rate of 58 per cent while the US was third at 37 per cent.
Hotels in the UAE embarked on campaigns to promote domestic tourism, which contributed USD 11 billion to the national economy in 2020 – a figure that is expected to double over the next few years, the Ministry of Economy said.
The data also showed that the UAE suffered the smallest decline in tourist traffic last year, with activity falling by 45.2 per cent. Thailand recorded the biggest drop (83 per cent), followed by the UK (82 per cent), Spain (78 per cent) and the US at 77 per cent.
The UAE’s 'world’s coolest winter” campaign that began last year attracted about a million domestic tourists and generated Dh 1 billion in revenue. Now, it will focus on international tourists once global lockdowns are lifted.
The UAE is among the top countries in terms of Covid-19 vaccination rates and testing, which have helped to create a safe environment for tourists, he said.
The country had vaccinated 8,923,543 people, with a vaccine distribution rate of 90.22 doses for every 100 people as of April 9.

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor)
Dhaka: According to the International Air Transport Association, Bangladesh currently holds the second highest amount of airline funds blocked for repatriation that is USD 214.1 million.
IATA in a statement warned that rapidly rising blocked fund levels threaten airline connectivity in the affected markets.
The industry's blocked funds have increased by 47 per cent to USD 2.27 billion in April 2023 from USD 1.55 billion in April 2022 globally.
The top five countries account for 68.0 per cent of the blocked funds. These comprise: Nigeria USD 812.2 million, Bangladesh USD 214.1 million, Algeria USD 196.3 million, Pakistan USD 188.2 million, and Lebanon USD 141.2 million.
Willie Walsh, Director General, IATA, said,“Governments need to work with industry to resolve this situation so airlines can continue providing the connectivity vital to driving economic activity and job creation.”
“Airlines cannot continue to offer services in markets where they cannot repatriate the revenues arising from their commercial activities in those markets.”
IATA urged governments to abide by international agreements and treaty obligations to enable airlines to repatriate these funds from selling tickets, cargo space, and other activities.
In August 2022, Dubai's Emirates Airlines cut all flights to Nigeria, the country with e the highest amount of blocked funds, because the Nigerian government did not allow the carrier to withdraw their money from the Nigerian bank account and change it into convertible currency to wire it back to Dubai.

Dhaka: Hong Kong plans to offer 500,000 free tickets to bring tourists back to the international hub. Cathay Pacific, HK Express, and Hong Kong Airlines will all be handing out the tickets in phases, starting with travellers from Southeast Asia on March 1.
During the pandemic, Hong Kong's government had been buying tickets to support domestic airlines. In 2020, the Hong Kong Airport Authority purchased half a million air tickets from four domestic airlines (including now shuttered Cathay Dragon) at a cost of HKD 2 billion (USD 255m).
The purpose was to support the territory's carriers without more bailouts or loans that would increase debt. Now, after three years, these tickets will finally make it to potential visitors.
As a part of its 'Hello Hong Kong' campaign to bring back locked-out tourists, the government will distribute the tickets through the three airline partners: Cathay Pacific, HK Express, and Hong Kong Airlines.
The first phase kicks off on March 1 and will target travellers in Southeast Asian countries, followed by mainland China in April, and Northeast Asia and other long-haul markets from May onward.
The giveaway will launch soon, and Cathay is the first airline to open up its page for registrations. 'World of Winners' is the name of the promotion, and those interested will need to register with the airline and then keep an eye out for when the selection process begins.
While Hong Kong began relaxing its Covid restrictions in mid-2022, mainland China only did so on January 8, lifting all quarantine requirements.
Now, as the country finally reopens to international traffic, it is hoping that it can bring back millions of yearly visitors as well.

We see a reduction in logistics costs at all stages: the cost of grain cars, transportation, freight, etc. The grain initiative has been continued thanks to the government's active work. Therefore, farmers can look forward to the next day," the first deputy minister said.
He also recalled several government initiatives aimed at helping farmers, including the soft loan program until March 31, 2024.

"The program has been in place since last year. It focuses on horticulture and greenhouse farming development. Farmers can increase the acreage of all types of berries and fruits, as well as develop greenhouses," the official noted.
As reported, the government program Affordable Loans 5-7-9% started on February 1, 2020. The rate depends on a borrower's business size and duration.
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food introduced non-refundable grant programs for farmers in June 2022. The programs cover the development of horticulture, berry cultivation, viticulture, and greenhouse farming. The main goal of these programs is to support agricultural producers, create jobs, and ensure food security.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) The Federal Supreme Court in Abu Dhabi has upheld a lower court verdict that sentenced a man to two years in prison and Dh10,000 fine for consuming drugs.
The lower courts found the Arab man guilty of using psychotropic drugs and not complying with authorities when they asked for his urine and blood sample for a drug test.
Court documents stated that the man was detained after authorities received a tip-off about him consuming drugs.
Prosecutors asked him to have his urine and blood samples taken for drug test at his will after he denied consuming narcotic substances, but the man refused without giving a genuine reason. Officers then had to take him forcibly for the test and the report confirmed that he was using psychotropic drugs. Prosecutors had charged him with consuming psychotropic drugs and not complying with authorities.
Both the Court of First Instance and the Appeal Court had sentenced him to two years in jail after he was found guilty on both counts. He was also fined Dh10,000.
The man challenged the sentences at the top court, denying the charges and claiming that he was wrongly convicted.
The Supreme Court rejected his appeal and maintained the rulings by the lower courts, based on the evidence presented by prosecutors.

Judge decides US senator Graham has to appear in Trump 2020 election investigation
(MENAFN) US Senator Lindsey Graham has to appear ahead of a grand jury in Georgia state, which is inspecting likely 2020 election interference by previous President Donald Trump, as a federal judge decided on Monday.
"The Court finds that there are considerable areas of potential grand jury inquiry falling outside the Speech or Debate Clause’s protections," Judge Leigh Martin May stated in the 22-page decision.
Graham's attorneys claimed that a post-election telephone conversation Graham made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in November two years ago had a legislative drive and so was hidden by the Speech and Debate clause.
On the other hand, May opposed that the grand jury has been impaneled to “investigat[e] the facts and circumstances relating directly or indirectly to possible attempts to disrupt the lawful administration of the 2020 elections in the State of Georgia.”
The judge also declined the idea that sovereign immunity saved Graham from having to appear as he is a sitting US senator.
"Sovereign immunity fails to shield Senator Graham from testifying before the Special Purpose Grand Jury," May's decision went on.
"If the Court were to accept Senator Graham’s sovereign immunity argument, it would mean that U.S. Senators would not be required to testify before state grand juries no matter the circumstances. The law would give them complete immunity based solely on their status as federal officials."

(MENAFN- AFP) The US Justice Department and the FBI are investigating Cambridge Analytica, the British marketing analytics firm embroiled in the Facebook data scandal, and have questioned potential witnesses, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
CA has vehemently denied exploiting data obtained from up to 87 million Facebook users for Donald Trump's presidential campaign, claiming it deleted data obtained in breach of the social network's terms of service.
The company announced early this month it was closing and would file for bankruptcy in Britain and the United States, saying it had been "vilified" by the "numerous unfounded accusations."
US investors have sought to speak with banks that have handled the company's business, the Times said, citing an American official and others familiar with the investigation as saying the probe appears to focus on CA's finances and how it obtained and used personal data from Facebook.
One of the prosecutors involved in the inquiry is Brian Kidd, assistant chief of the Justice Department's securities and financial fraud division, with the help of at least one agent who investigates cybercrime for the FBI.
Kidd traveled to London with another Justice Department prosecutor and an FBI agent this month to interview ex-CA employee Christopher Wylie, according to the Times.
"I can confirm that I've been contacted by the FBI and the Department of Justice, and answered preliminary questions," Wylie told the newspaper. "We plan to meet again to provide substantive answers to the investigators."
The Times said it was unclear whether the probe was linked to the one led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to tip the presidential election toward the Republican.

After being questioned for around eight hours at ED's headquarters in Delhi on March 25, Ali was summoned for questioning again on Monday. ED sources said he has been called for a second round of questioning because a lot of contradictions were found in his statements during the first round on March 25.
When ED had summoned Ali to Delhi for questioning, he was asked to be present with all related documents pertaining to his bank accounts and property details. According to sources, the probe agency has come across some properties worth hefty amounts in the names of some of Ali's close relatives.
"He is being questioned about the source of funds for purchasing the high-value properties," an ED associate said.
Earlier this month, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is conducting a parallel probe into the multi-crore cattle-smuggling scam, had also questioned Ali in this connection at the agency's Nizam Palace office in Kolkata.
The ED has also summoned Kripamoy Nandi, the superintendent of Asansol Special Correctional Home in West Burdwan district, to the agency's headquarters in Delhi on April 5.
Trinamool Congress strongman Anubrata Mondal, one of the prime accused in the case, was housed at the correctional home after his arrest in August 2022 till the time he was taken to the national capital by the ED earlier this month.

(MENAFN) In the latest findings from a survey conducted by a Turkish news agency, it has been revealed that Turkey's annual inflation rate is poised to escalate to 66.3 percent by February, a notable uptick from the preceding months' figures of 64.86 percent in January and 64.27 percent in December. This anticipated surge in inflation underscores the ongoing economic challenges facing the nation and underscores the urgency of addressing underlying factors contributing to the inflationary pressures.
The survey, which engaged a cohort of 10 economists, offers insights into the intricacies of Turkey's economic landscape. These economists, drawing from their diverse expertise, have collectively projected that the monthly inflation rate for February will hover around 4.04 percent. This estimation reflects a modest decline from the preceding month's 6.7 percent, indicating potential stabilization within the inflationary trajectory. However, the economists' projections encompass a range of possibilities, with forecasts spanning from 3.4 percent to 5 percent, underscoring the inherent volatility and uncertainty inherent in economic forecasting.
As anticipation builds ahead of the Turkish Statistical Institute's forthcoming announcement on March 4th, which will unveil the official consumer price index for February, stakeholders across various sectors brace for potential implications. The relentless ascent of inflation poses multifaceted challenges, exerting pressure on consumer purchasing power, business operations, and broader economic equilibrium.
Beyond the numerical metrics, the evolving inflationary landscape underscores the need for a comprehensive and nuanced approach to economic management. As Turkey navigates through this period of economic turbulence, the forthcoming data release serves as a critical juncture for evaluating the efficacy of existing policies and charting a course towards sustainable economic recovery.
