Dubai Duty Free walked away with the award for the ‘Middle East Travel Retailer of the Year’ for the fourteenth time at the recent Duty Free News International (DFNI) Asia/Pacific Awards for Travel-Retail Excellence.
The DFNI awards are a celebration of the very best in the duty free industry in the Asia/Pacific Region and are based on votes received from industry partners. Online voting forms for the DFNI Asia/Pacific awards were sent to a special industry ‘academy’ of retailers, suppliers, agents and distributors serving the region.
Forms were also distributed through the DFNI magazine’s International database. Colm McLoughlin, executive vice chairman of Dubai Duty Free, received the award from DFNI publisher Amanda Felix, along with editor Gary Scattergood. “The DFNI awards recognise excellence in service, innovation and quality within the airport retail sector and as such it is fantastic to receive this recognition for the fourteenth time,” McLoughlin said.
