Reimagining travel retail<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Emirates World store in Singapore reflects the airline\u2019s evolving retail strategy: one that combines innovation, personalisation, and convenience in a space easily accessible by its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing insights from internal studies and global customer behaviour, Emirates found that travellers value in-person retail experiences, particularly when planning something as personal as travel. This reimagined retail concept offers a human touch to booking, allowing visitors to receive personalised travel recommendations, access exclusive fare deals, and explore Emirates\u2019 best-in-class products up close.<\/p>\n\n\n

Spanning over 330 sqm, the Emirates World store is designed to offer a warm, open-plan, lounge-like environment in the airline\u2019s signature light and contemporary colour palette. The walls are adorned with designs of the Ghaf Tree, the national tree of the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With four customer service counters staffed by expert consultants, guests can book flights, seek professional advice, and plan their holidays with ease. Guests can also explore smart technology experiences such as the \u2018selfie mirror\u2019, which snaps pictures of travellers against scenic destination backdrops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
