It’s basically an airport++ with long layovers and malls. I wouldn’t call the people passing through “tourists”

GDP 400B, 11% = 44B
India tourism GDP is 121B, or 4% of a 6x bigger economy in USD terms )not PPP). Tourist numbers about the same. So either tourists in India spend 3x, or the ones in Dubai aren’t really tourists…

Most tourism gdp in India is going to be domestic of course. Dubai is so small “domestic tourism” is literally impossible.
