Visa Expands Travel Rewards In Dubai With Hotels, Dining And Shopping Perks

Dubai just scored another major vote of confidence from the global travel industry. Visa has officially expanded its Global Travel Program to the city, placing Dubai alongside Paris and London as one of the first flagship destinations in the initiative.

Visa Expands Global Travel Program to Dubai With Premium Benefits for Cardholders

For Visa cardholders, it also means one thing. Travel in Dubai just got easier, smoother, and more rewarding. Visa’s Global Travel Program introduces perks like premium hotel stays, top-tier dining, retail and entertainment. The program aims to provide convenience and value to the Visa card users visiting Dubai. They can use it for digital booking and payments and enjoy perks across Dubai as mentioned in a report by Travel and Tour World. 

What Visa’s Global Travel Program Means For Travellers?

Visa Infinite and Visa Signature cardholders get VIP access to select attractions, events, and tailored experiences that emphasise Dubai’s lifestyle and hospitality scene.
Visa has also partnered with leading merchants across the city so you can book a luxury hotel, dine at a Michelin-starred restaurant, or shop at high-end boutiques with benefits.

Why Dubai Was An Obvious Choice?

Dubai continues to rank among the world’s top ten cities for international arrivals. It welcomes visitors from over 100 countries every year and offers scale, safety, and variety only in a way few cities can match.
Recent VisaNet data support the decision. Returning visitors now spend an average of 45% more per trip than first-time travellers. Entertainment spending has jumped by 69%, while dining spending is up 20%. These numbers show that visitors don’t just return to Dubai but also stay longer, spend more, and look for deeper experiences.
This behaviour fits perfectly with the Visa program built around curated access and premium offers.
Visa’s expanded presence supports economic growth by encouraging spending across hotels, retail, dining, and entertainment.
