The 'visiting friends and relatives' (VFR) market is huge in the UAE due to the existence of a large expatriate community.

Some of the reasons the UAE attracts family members and friends of its expatriate communities are its strategic location and the attractive package offer from the UAE-based airlines on air tickets and visa services.
