Cathay Pacific launches special airfare rates for DSF visitors

"DSF is the biggest event of the year for both the retail and tourism sector. All important players in these industries stand to benefit from the influx of tourists coming here to partake in the festival. As such, we want to encourage more people to come to Dubai by offering special rates and help make DSF a truly successful event," said Philip Herbert, Cathay Pacific Country Manager for UAE and Oman.

DSF stated that 3.1 million visitors arrived last year during the 32-day festival as per the latest records. This year, the government is expecting to top that record by 5% given the heavy promotions and assortment of activities lined up to entice shoppers from all over the world.

Dubai residents who wish to bring their family and friends for a shopping spree during DSF are seen to benefit from the promotional airfare introduced by the airline for the event.

Also, for local customers who plan to travel to other exciting destinations, Cathay Pacific has also announced its promotional fares for Bangkok, Manila, and Mumbai. The move to adjust prices to favorable fares underlines the airline's continued commitment in giving the Middle East travel market quality service and affordable packages.

In addition to the above-mentioned offers, Cathay Pacific has an ongoing promotion for travelers who wish to experience the ancient splendor of the majestic Beijing.
