Dubai Customs has announced the formation of a special working team to provide all Customs facilitations to a contingent of more than 16,000 Chinese visitors from Nu Skin company. These lucky employees are expected to arrive in batches in Dubai as a reward from the company for the unparalleled results they have achieved. 

Dubai Customs has increased the number of inspectors and staff serving travellers at the handheld inspection posts following passport control process. The team will be available to provide necessary assistance to help smoothen and speed up passengers clearance via airport terminals, with a special care for the elderly, children and people with special needs.

Such keenness on providing adapted services to facilitate entry procedures for the Chinese visitors is in line with Dubai Government’s strategies aimed at boosting the emirate’s standing as one of the world’s top tourist destinations. This is the biggest group of tourists Dubai has ever hosted, after competing against Macau, Singapore and Seoul.

Ali Al Maqhawi, Director of Airport Operations at DC said, “Dubai Customs is in full preparedness to receive the Chinese delegation, ensuring the optimal facilitation at their arrival in the UAE.”

He added that Dubai Customs has set up special teams to greet and meet the tourists, and facilitate applicable entry procedures in a way that outstrips their expectations.

Al Maqhawi also highlighted that all inspectors, staff and the support team joining in this effort are merely practicing their day to day hospitality notion. “The same level of welcome and friendliness is offered to all comers to the country, giving  them a warm feeling that they have landed in their own home.”

He also stated that Dubai Customs has increased the number of entry gates at terminals 1 and 3, to assure smooth and swift clearance of passengers and their baggage, noting that many members of the Chinese delegation who arrived two days ago expressed relief and gratitude for the easy procedures. These visitors also expressed admiration for Dubai’s architectural development.

All stakeholders at Dubai Customs are working hand in hand around the clock to ensure that services are delivered to give the Chinese visitors a memorable tourist experience.
