EK's Dubai flights from the UK serve two passenger groups:

1) Asians returning 'home' to India or Pak via DXB
2) Increasingly large numbers of tourists visiting the massive building site that is Dubai. They are building hotels, villas & apartments as though they are going out of fashion. It's the new Benidorm

So the questions are - are there sufficient Asians in South Wales/South West wanting to return 'home'?
- do the people of the South West/South Wales have sufficient disposable income to buy holidays in Dubai?
