Dear All,

I am writing to outline the process and the cost associated with setting up a new travel agency on Dubai Mainland. @J K Management Consultancies is dedicated to assisting you in navigating through the regulatory requirements and establishing your footprint in the thriving tourism sector of Dubai.

Executive Summary:

Dubai’s position as a global travel hub presents an unparalleled opportunity for a travel agency business. The Department of Economic Development (DED) governs the licensing in Dubai Mainland, offering the freedom to conduct business across the UAE and engage with government projects.

Steps for License Acquisition:

  1. Select the Appropriate License: Decide between an inbound tour operator license, outbound tour operator license, and travel agent license, based on the services you wish to offer.
  2. Jurisdiction Choice: Opt for a Mainland company for broader business scope.
  3. Capital Requirement: Ensure the availability of minimal required capital for initial setup and licensing.
  4. Trade Name Registration: Choose and register an appropriate trade name that aligns with cultural and regulatory standards.
  5. Document Submission: Prepare and submit necessary documents, including application forms, passport copies, and photos. A No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the civil aviation authority and a clean criminal record are also required.
  6. Approval Process: Submit the required documents and fees to the DED and await the issuance of your business license.
  7. Bank Account Opening: Upon approval, set up a corporate bank account to commence your business operations.

Approximate Costs:

  • Initial License Cost: Starting from AED 14,500, inclusive of initial approval, name reservation, and Memorandum of Association drafting. This does not cover office space rental, which is required for the Mainland license.
  • Additional Approvals: Costs may vary depending on the specific services provided and any additional regulatory body requirements.

Benefits:

  • Strategic Location: Dubai Mainland’s central location is ideal for a travel agency, offering access to a wide customer base.
  • Regulatory Environment: Dubai Mainland’s regulatory framework is conducive to business growth and expansion.

Recommendations:

  • Office Space: Secure an office space that meets the minimum size requirement and provides a professional environment for your business.
  • Legal and Financial Advisory: Engage with our consultancy services for in-depth legal and financial planning.

We are excited about the potential of this venture and look forward to your favorable response. Should you have any questions or need further details, please feel free to contact me directly.

Thank you for considering our proposal. We are eager to help set the foundation for what promises to be a successful and profitable venture.

Warm regards,

J K Management Consultancies
