Russian-speaking tourists to the town of Ras Al Khaimah, part of the United Arab Emirates, have dipped since Russia invaded Ukraine, but visitors from other markets have offset that fall and overall visits are up this year, an official said on Tuesday.
Raki Phillips, chief executive of the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, said tourists from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other former Soviet states typically made up 10% of annual visitors to the northern emirate about 120 kilometres from Dubai.
