This extension of services to the Middle East is the result of its recent tie-up with CHEC Port City Colombo to promote down-town duty free shopping for all in-bound visitors both locals and foreigners.

This initiative will particularly benefit Sri Lankan expatriate community across the Middle East, particularly the over 1.2 million migrant workers residing in Gulf countries who could directly benefit out of this generous offer by the two participating Duty-Free operators, namely One World Duty Free (OWDF) and China Duty Free (CDF).

The UAE alone hosts approximately 390,000 Sri Lankans comprising professionals, middle managers, skilled and semi-skilled workers and domestic groups.
