Chinese New Year Celebrations begins at Dubai Duty Free

Dubai Duty Free officially launched its Chinese New Year celebrations on January 22 in Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport.

The morning festivities were attended by Dubai Duty Free management and staff, headed by Executive Vice Chairman & CEO Colm McLoughlin, Chief Operating Officer Ramesh Cidambi and Executive Vice President Corp. Services Salah Tahlak, along with representatives from the Chinese Consulate in Dubai, including (Acting) Consul General Ms Tan Li and Vice Consul Wang Chen, and some Chinese media.

To kickstart the festive spirit in Concourse B, the Sindy Zou dance group welcomed the officials, guests and passengers by performing a traditional Chinese dance “Silk Road”. Ms Li was invited to join the draw for Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire and Finest Surprise promotions.

As part of the promotions over the coming weeks, Dubai Duty Free rolled out a Chinese New Year-themed concept with plenty of promotions across all concourses in Dubai International and Al Maktoum International airports.

Offers include a 20% discount for its top-selling Chinese cigarette brands, such as Chunghwa and Panda, and other regular promotions in various categories including liquor, skincare and luxury watches. Alipay customers will have a chance to win a number of prizes for a total of 45 days.
