Dubai is a city-state located in the United Arab Emirates. It is famous for its tourist attractions like the Palm Islands and extremely tall buildings. Dubai has a hot climate year-round and its economy relies heavily on tourism rather than oil. Popular destinations include the Burj Al Arab hotel and Palm Islands development.
Dubai has transformed from a small fishing village to a global economic hub in just a few decades. Through strategic investments in tourism and infrastructure like the Burj Khalifa and Palm Islands, Dubai diversified away from a oil-based economy. Today Dubai attracts millions of visitors annually and has the most visited shopping malls globally. However, Dubai's oil reserves are dwindling and future projects like DubaiLand aim to sustain growth through tourism and real estate. Dubai's rapid rise from the desert shows how visionary investments can reshape a region.

Tourism in Antarctica has grown significantly in recent decades due to increased access and comforts for visitors. However, the fragile Antarctic environment is at risk from the impacts of tourism, such as disturbing wildlife and potential ship accidents and oil spills. To help protect Antarctica, the Antarctic Treaty was established to prevent activities like mining and drilling, and tourism is managed through guidelines from the International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators that limit environmental impacts. Continued monitoring is needed to ensure sustainable tourism as visitor numbers continue rising in this extreme environment.
