Qatar Duty Free
(QDF) and China UnionPay International recently began offering
travelers the chance to earn prizes as part of the celebration of
China's new year, which officially begins on Jan. 28.
Any Doha Hamad International Airport traveler using a UnionPay card to
purchase at least $410 worth of QDF products, including fragrances,
cosmetics, skincare, confectionery, and other gift items, will be

envelope containing a shopping voucher for QDF outlets.
QDF personnel
throughout airport will be dressed in traditional Chinese apparel to
welcome travelers, and much of the airport will reflect the
celebration as well.
"We are very happy to celebrate Chinese New
Year in collaboration with UnionPay International," Luis
Gassett, QDF's senior vice president, said. "QDF recognizes the
significance of this holiday to its customers. Our partnership with
UnionPay International is a fantastic opportunity for us to reward
