Tourism & Hospitality

Accounting & Tax Solutions for the Tourism & Hospitality Sector in the UAE

Led by Expert Chartered Accountants

The UAE's tourism and hospitality industry continues to thrive as one of the region’s most dynamic sectors, supported by global events, luxury travel, and government initiatives like Dubai Tourism Strategy 2030. However, businesses in this space face unique financial and regulatory challenges — from seasonal revenue patterns and high overhead costs to intricate VAT regulations, corporate tax obligations, and strict audit requirements.

At Gupta Accountants, our team of chartered accountants specializes in delivering comprehensive financial, tax, and compliance support tailored specifically for hospitality operators, hotel groups, travel agencies, and tourism service providers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE.

Industry-Focused Chartered Accounting for Travel & Hospitality

Whether you run a luxury hotel, tour operator, F&B outlet, or destination management company, our chartered accountants provide the clarity and structure you need to manage profitability, stay compliant, and prepare for sustainable growth — while keeping your operations audit-ready and investor-friendly.

Hospitality-Specific Bookkeeping & Accounting: Real-time revenue tracking (room sales, tours, F&B, spa, etc.), cost of goods sold (COGS), seasonal forecasting, and profit center reporting.

VAT & Tax Compliance Advisory: VAT structuring for room revenue, tourism services, promotional packages, and international customer handling — along with UAE corporate tax planning and filing.

Cash Flow Planning & Budgeting: Dynamic budgeting to manage high and low seasons, tour schedules, event calendars, and capital expenditures.

Financial Reporting & Internal Controls: Setup and monitoring of internal controls for cash handling, POS systems, reservations, and online payments — with monthly financial statements and variance reports.
