Luxury Arabia: Craftsmanship, Beauty and Hedonism

Dubai has established itself as one of the most important luxury brand hubs in the world. Consumers in the UAE have increased their spending on luxury products by 70 percent over the past five year, much higher than in more mature markets such as Europe and the US. UAE residents are reported to spend in excess of $8 billion annually on luxury goods.

The panel discussion will be addressing a diverse range of important topics including:
The luxury watch consumer
Building relationships with clients
The dimensions of a luxury experience
Beyond contemporary production: collectibles and history
Product performance, exclusivity and design
The luxury hotel perspective: customer journey
