Dubai Duty Free, one of the world’s largest single airport retail operators, has officially been recognised by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), as the world’s first Autism Certified airport retailer. This milestone is part of a broader city-wide initiative that has also made Dubai a Certified Autism Destination. Ramesh Cidambi, Dubai Duty Free Managing Director, said, “It is an honour to receive this certification from IBCCES. It aligns with Dubai Duty Free’s broader efforts to enhance accessibility and inclusivity across our operations. As part of the initiative, Dubai Duty Free has adopted the internationally recognised ‘sunflower symbol’, which identifies individuals with hidden disabilities.
