With agents due to emerge from a month-long national lockdown on 2 December, Gold Medal managing director Lisa McAuley hailed the arrival of "Dubai December" after transport secretary Grant Shapps on Thursday (12 November) confirmed a slew of new additions to the travel corridor list.
"The announcement of a travel corridor to the UAE is fantastic news, and opens up the opportunity for agents to make some much needed winter sun bookings," said McAuley.
"Our knowledge of, and scale in, the region is unrivalled, so the team has swung in to action and will be supporting trade partners in the coming days to enable them to make the most of the opportunity that has emerged.
"After so many challenges this year, it is wonderful to get this boost – it’ll be a ‘Dubai December’."
