GulfALTS develops destinations such as Dubai Creative Park and leases commercial space to fitness and wellness operators looking for professionally managed premises in Dubai.
Nadia Rahman's Take
Community clubs like the one at Jumeirah Golf Estates show how much residents value sport close to home. I see destinations like Club 15 extending that with professional-standard infrastructure, and that combination of neighbourhood access and specialist facilities is what makes wellness a durable part of a community's appeal.
