Dubai Expo2020 to boost UAE job opportunities
An approximate 277,000 direct jobs in Dubai
are expected to be created from 2014-2020 if Dubai
wins the Expo 2020 bid. The key job sectors
benefiting from the event would be
Infrastructure jobs, Construction jobs, Travel
jobs and Hospitality jobs. Dubai Expo would put
the Middle East
and Gulf region in lime light as the boom town
of Middle East. This would mean at least 75
of these jobs for expats from UK, Europe, India,
Philippines etc.
New roads will be constructed, Dubai Metro
would be extended to the Expo venue, more flights
would be ordered, Al Maktoum airport itself would
absorb at least 15,000 jobs. The recent order of
Emirates Airlines, the state carrier of Dubai
for 90 of Airbus A380 jumbo aircrafts is a sign
that the desert emirate strongly believes it
could win the Expo bid. The delivery of these
aircrafts would be from 2018 which clearly falls
in line with the Expo 2020 vision. They include
admin jobs in Dubai, MEP jobs, air traffic
control jobs in Dubai airport, customer service
jobs, duty free shop jobs in Dubai and much
more. Expo is expected to pump in upwards of 23
billion and expects 25 million visitors over a
period of six months in 2020.
45,000 new hotel rooms would need to be built
keeping a fair assumption that 70 of the
Expo visitors would visit from outside the UAE.
This would create 20,000 new jobs in Dubai
hotels.
The event would help Dubai further diversify
from oil related activities to non-oil
based economy construction, tourism,
hospitality, travel, leisure, infrastructure etc.
As of 2 November, Bill Gates the founder of
Microsoft Corporation , James Cameron
Prime Minister of UK, Netherlands, France and a
host of other nations have supported Dubais bid
to host Expo 2020. The huge public support and
level of enthusiasm clearly indicates
BIEs decision to vote for Dubai, UAE.
Abu Dhabi and Sharjah job market to benefit from
Expo 2020
Abu Dhabi, the capital of Dubai and Sharjah,
the third largest emirate in the UAE would
also benefit if Dubai wins Expo 2020 bid. The
proposed Expo 2020 venue is at an equal distance
from Dubai and Abu Dhabi and this would be a
boost to Abu Dhabi economy. The key job creation
sectors in these emirates would be tourism and
travel in Abu Dhabi construction and
housing in Sharjah.
The event is also of particular interest for the
labor market and search firms in UAE. 60 of
all jobs are being filled through search firms
in the UAE and each of the consultancies in the
overcrowded market is hoping to have a larger
pie of their own.
