Dubai is now undoubtedly one of the most sought-out tourist places in the world, the Commercial Hub being a place for adventurous activities, romantic getaways, and soothing vacation retreats. In 2019 alone Dubai welcomed a whopping number of 16M visitors to the city alone, the number which is only expected to be increasing in the coming years. Accordingly, the demand for vacation homes is on the rise for the past few years in the mainland as tourists are now seeking the options of rental properties for both long-term as well as short-term vacation visits. With Dubai now getting all ready to host the EXPO 2020, there cannot be a better moment for business setups relating to home rentals and the like.
According to the UAE Department of Economic Development (DED), the Vacation Home Rentals in UAE include furnished accommodation rented to tourists and vacationers as a whole (splitting of the property into separate rooms or beds not allowed) on a daily, weekly, monthly basis with the license holder as the manager of the properties. The UAE Decree No. 41 of 2013, allows authorized housing units to lease their property for public accommodation, given, the regulations as dictated by the latest Administrative Decision No.1 of 2020 are followed. The Department of Tourism and Commerce Management (DTCM) and DED are the regulatory bodies whereby the DTCM possess the authority to accept or reject license applications, issue conditions and monitor the compliance of business setups related to rental homes.
