Abstract:

 The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a very popular destination for business travelers who attend business meetings, conferences, exhibitions and incentive travel programs. There are several events and exhibitions that are being organized throughout the year in Dubai for companies that look for potential partners to market their products in the international markets. When the business travelers visit Dubai, they also indulge in shopping for themselves and for their kith and kin and hence contribute to the growth of the local retail industry. Tourism literature has given only very limited attention to research on business travelers’ characteristics related to shopping behavior. Our research focuses on business travelers’ shopping behavior and their shopping satisfaction in Dubai. The findings of this exploratory study would provide information that can help local retailers identify business travelers as a potential target market and use in their marketing strategies.
