The Academy is wholly owned by the Duty Free World Council, a not for profit organisation. We are indebted to the support of our sponsors without whom the creation of Academy and its courses would not be possible.
The creation of the Academy has been sponsored by Dubai Duty Free, Dufry and TFWA.
Dubai Duty Free supported the initiative of establishing DFWC Academy to highlight the importance of this unique industry and it was an honor to be a member of the advisory group adding 38 years of experience in the travel retail industry “The Dubai Experience” to play a key role in the development of professional standards for the industry that will be recognized academically.
