Dubai Chambers records significant surge in privately-held businesses joining its Service Excellence Programme, demonstrating an increased commitment to improving customer service standards across the emirate.
According to recently released data, the Chamber issued 2,422 mystery shopper reports to participating companies during the first quarter of 2025.

By providing detailed feedback, the reports help companies pinpoint strengths and address service deficiencies, enabling them to make measured, data-informed improvements for a superior customer experience.
Aware of the changing business landscape, Dubai Chambers has adjusted the programme's scope to encompass newer service channels and industry sectors. Evaluations now examine customer experiences in concept stores, insurance services, and even through digital platforms like LinkedIn and TikTok.
By broadening the programme's reach, Dubai Chambers underscores its dedication to aligning regional service standards with thriving global practices. In doing so, the emirate reinforces its reputation as a business-friendly destination with a customer-centric ethos.
