The Global Traveler Awards are the result of a reader's survey which attracted a record 31,457 responses. Readers gave their preference in 55 individual categories, which included airlines, loyalty programmes, destinations, hotels and airports. The 2008 survey included a 'Best Duty Free Shops' category for the second time.
Commenting on the Global Traveler Award, Colm McLoughlin, Managing Director of Dubai Duty Free, said:
"We are delighted to receive this award for the second consecutive year. The number of US-based travelers flying through Dubai has increased dramatically in recent years and this award reflects that. It also reflects the growing awareness of the excellent facilities that we have here at Dubai International Airport."
The Global Traveler Award marks the first award of the year for Dubai Duty Free, which in December 2008, celebrated its 25th anniversary and ended the year with record sales of $1.1bn. The opening of Emirates Terminal 3 in October 2008 resulted in the retail operation doubling to 15,000 square metres while its staffing levels rose to 3,700.
