Qatar Duty free helps bring in Chinese new-year with retail promotions

Being held in two locations on level one of Doha International Airport, the promotion has been designed exclusively for travellers from mainland China, Hong Kong and other parts of the region. 

Qatar Airways chief executive officer, Akbar al Baker was joined by the Chinese Ambassador to Qatar, H.E. Gao Youzhen, and CEO of UnionPay International, Cai Jianbo, to officially commemorate the inaugural promotion. 

With travellers from China representing a significant and increasingly growing portion of its high-spending consumer base, QDF has partnered with UnionPay International, China’s preferred payment option, to provide its Chinese customers with ease of mind and familiar purchasing options during the festive season. 

QDF’s annual Chinese New Year promotion, which has featured a dedicated retail area for the third year running, and its collaboration this year with UnionPay International, is a testament to the company’s commitment to grow its Chinese consumer segment.
