Since its opening in December 1983, Dubai Duty Free has grown into one of the biggest travel retail operators in the world. Therefore, it was a great privilege for me to have my books included on the shelves of their bookshops located within the various Dubai Airport Terminals.
Dubai Duty Free recently celebrated its 37th anniversary and recorded annual sales of over Dhs 2.5 billion ($697 million USD).
As part of the ongoing development of its retail offer in Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport — with a total retail area of over 40,000 square meters — Dubai Duty Free opened a new Arrivals Shop in Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport. The new Dubai Duty Free Arrivals Shop features a total retail space of 1,100 square meters, a significant increase over its previous retail area of 660 square meters.
Now employing over 2,600 people, the operation has consistently raised the benchmark for airport retailing, and it continues to grow.
The KV66 series of books is a very light read and ideal for slipping into one’s bag while traveling abroad. With Emirates home base being Dubai International Airport, having the book displayed on the bookshelf in Dubai Duty Free will – all being well – lead to it finding potential takers from all corners of the globe.
Thank you, Dubai Duty Free!
