Scott Booth, head of data products, MENA, said: “This year has been exceptional for sportswear brands and they dominate the most recommended rankings in the UAE. We even see travel and airline brands strengthening their position among consumers. In addition to this, most improved brands are focussed on airlines and destinations, highlighting the building appetite for travel amidst rampant vaccination in the country.”
