The evolution of global travel trends has made shopping an essential part of tourism for travellers coming from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. McArthurGlen Designer Outlets operates 22 strategically located centres across Europe, serving as the top shopping destination for customers seeking luxury brands, and great value. In 2024, visitors from the GCC represented the largest share of McArthurGlen’s tax-free sales, demonstrating the importance of the region in luxury retail spending.

With the continued momentum of global travel, the world has developed various new methods to personalise travel experiences, thrusting forward new travel trends. One major shift is towards multigenerational travel.

In recognition of these results, Magdus also awarded McArthurGlen the prestigious title of “Best Outlet Operator in Europe 2024.” In total, eight McArthurGlen centers placed in the top 20 in Europe: Serravalle (1st), Roermond (2nd), Málaga (3rd), Cheshire Oaks (6th), Castel Romano and Noventa di Piave (tied for 8th), Parndorf (10th), and York (11th).
