Greater connectivity
These flights from Turkish Airlines allow for much greater connectivity, and they are knowingly playing more into those markets, knowing that many people would love to fly to those destinations.
Dubai is one of the biggest markets for a luxurious vacation, while Abu Dhabi is more focused on the economy.
These types of markets are the 2 ripest markets of the three, as there is such a high demand to travel to these destinations.
The only reason Dubai is such a very popular tourist destination is because of its rich-like architecture, which obviously attracts many people, whether rich or normal, to have a glancing peak at how it’s like to live in an area with a tremendous GDP per capita.
This doesn’t go to say that there isn’t much to visit in Dubai, but that it should be kept in the back of your mind.
