Airport duty free shopping is not almost last-minute gifts or tax-free bargains.

The duty free shops are being used on outgoing flights by many UAE travelers. This is done to pack bags without having to pay extra bucks for overload luggage. The world's top travel retailers will be taking control on the sales revenue- Dubai Duty Free.

Yesterday Dubai Duty Free declared the rise in double digit sales for 2010 with income going on the top with a record Dh4.66 billion ($1.27 billion) whereas there was a growth of 14 per cent over 2009.

45 per cent of airport passengers who spend nearly $46 each are getting the supply.

Last year, there was an increase in passenger investing at Dubai Duty Free at Dubai International Airport on the support of growing traffic.
