Dubai Duty Free was presented with the award for ‘Best Duty Free Shopping’ for the ninth consecutive year at the Business Traveller Middle East awards ceremony held in Dubai on the eve of the Arabian Travel Market 2010.
Dubai Duty Free, which achieved record sales of US$1.14 billion in 2009 and has been acknowledged as the largest single duty free operation in the world, came out tops in the readers’ survey conducted by the magazine within the category ‘Best Airport in the Middle East for Duty Free Shopping’. The lavish awards ceremony, which was held at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers and organized by Motivate Publishing, brought together leading executives from the travel and tourism industry.
Commenting on this latest award, Colm McLoughlin said: “I am delighted to receive this award for the ninth consecutive year. These awards reflect the views of frequent and discerning travelers and, as such, it as a great compliment and an endorsement of the operation that we continue to win. My thanks to H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman of Dubai Duty Free, for his ongoing support. My thanks also to all of our employees who deserve this recognition.”
The Business Traveller Middle East award is the second major award to be won by Dubai Duty Free this year. In January, the operation received the Global Traveller Award for ‘Best Duty Free Shops’ from the US-based magazine.
