Dubái: El Hub Comercial Del Futuro

Abstract

Dubai, an iconic city in the Middle East, has experienced extraordinary economic growth over the past four decades, driven by a strategic vision that has positioned it as a global center of commerce. This article explores Dubai's history, focusing on key milestones in its economic diversification from 1830 to 2022, identifying the pillars that have supported its trade in recent years, and examining the key activities that will ensure its future. Therefore, the study employs a descriptive approach based on observation and case analysis, focusing on the academic mission in the United Arab Emirates. Its objective is to understand how the historical process, economic diversification, and social progress have been key to the country's success, and to establish a methodological foundation for similar studies in other contexts. In the same way Dubai has achieved its economic transformation over the years thanks to the vision of its leaders and the commitment of its society to their city. Pearls, then oil, and now tourism and logistics have been the key pillars that have enabled Dubai to continue growing economically. For the future, sustainability in tourism has been implemented to ensure continued growth for the country. Finally, Dubai has undergone a remarkable journey, evolving from a small settlement into a global metropolis. From its beginnings, its leaders have focused on commerce, diversifying the economy beyond oil by investing in infrastructure and tourism. Today, Dubai is a leader in tourism and logistics, with strategies such as Expo 2020 and iconic projects like the Burj Khalifa. Additionally, it has excelled in sustainable tourism, driven by the D33 agenda and the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, with initiatives such as the DUBAI CAN program and the construction of its solar park.
