Dubai is the hub of all things opulent, and soon the city could welcome a massive resort in the shape of the moon. Moon World Resorts (MWR), a Canadian architecture firm, has proposed to create the resort in order to provide visitors with reasonably priced space tourism on Earth.
The opulent hotel, which will be built to resemble the lunar surface, is expected to be constructed in 48 months and reach a height of 735 feet overall. According to the architectural firm, “Moon Dubai” will boost the economy of the emirate in areas including hospitality, entertainment, tourist attractions, education, technology, the environment, and space tourism.
According to the founders of Moon World Resorts, Sandra G. Matthews and Michael R. Henderson, “Moon Dubai will be the largest and most successful modern-day tourism project within the entire MENA region, doubling annual tourism visitations to Dubai based on its global appeal, brand awareness, and unique multiple integrated offerings.” They also stated that it “can comfortably accommodate 10 million annual visitors.”
The newest theme hotel in Dubai will focus on essential industries like infrastructure, financial services, aviation, space, energy, agriculture, technology, and education, as well as targeted industries like transportation, business, and residential real estate. It will also have a positive economic impact on the city’s areas of hospitality, entertainment, attractions, education, technology, the environment, and space tourism.
