  Hotels across Dubai are throwing open their doors to UAE residents with a selection of staycation deals.
  Issa Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM) said he hopes encouraging local visitors to the properties across the emirates will help kickstart the sector, which has been particularly hard hit from the coronavirus crisis.
  The packages, announced on Thursday, feature discounts and deals on room rates, F&B and other facilities, as the hospitality industry gradually reopens following the Covid-19 restrictions.
  Kazim said: "The initiative by the hospitality sector to restart operations by primarily targeting the domestic market is an important first step in our phased approach towards restoring normalcy in the tourism industry.
  "By reviving and increasing demand for domestic tourism, we hope to create a positive perception and a conducive environment aimed at instilling confidence among travellers from around the world who plan to visit Dubai.
  "A key part of this effort will be the effective implementation of health and safety measures across hotels in the city that will reassure guests and travellers that Dubai is one of the world's safest destinations."
  Dubai Tourism inspectors will be regularly monitoring the hotels to ensure compliance with the comprehensive set of health and safety protocols issued by public health authorities to slow down the transmission of Covid-19.
