According to new findings released by Dubai Airports as part of their ten year traffic forecast for Dubai International Airport and Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum, passenger numbers will rise by 7.2% and 6.7% respectively from next year, which outperforms the global average of 5% which is good news for travellers as well as travel providers, say Beat the Brochure ( http://www.beatthebrochure.com/).

It follows previously positive passenger growth numbers in 2009, when the amount of international passengers grew by 9.1% on the previous year.
