Particular reference was given to the concept of sustainable tourism development. It was to be answered, whether the current scale of tourism development in Dubai is likely to be sustainable.

Moreover the concept of sustainability has been introduced in this project. The importance of sustainable tourism development in Dubai had to be assessed; hence, the author demonstrated a choice of Dubai's approaches towards sustainability. Finally recommendations are given of how to further tourism development in Dubai should be realised. The research findings show that Dubai's strategic tourism development is focused on quantity rather on quality. 20 years ago, Dubai consisted mainly of desert, today countless hotels, theme parks, and even artificial islands are being built to meet the current demand and to attract more tourists.
