New car Deliveries get stuck in Ships and Chips Tangle

Image
Buying a  new car in the new car in the UAE  now comes with something owners have never experienced before — a long wait to actually get it. What used to be a month or two waiting period on the more popular models is stretching well beyond that. And when it comes to luxury models and SUVs, the waiting can last a few months. At the start of the year, UAE dealerships had been optimistic that delivery times and stocks in hand would get better by summer. That, by the looks of it, is not happening, and which has prompted dealers to revise their expectations to year-end for the situation to improve. All this when demand for new cars is hitting 15–20 per cent levels from a year ago — and double what it was during 2020, when COVID-19 and the lockdown phase dented demand.

The term ‘ medical tourism ’  has for some time been synonymous with reactionary myths regarding immigration. The theory went that swathes of internationals were flooding the health systems of countries like the UK or US in a bid to access healthcare unavailable in their home nations, free of charge. Claims that this was costing health systems arbitrary-millions per year were largely unfounded. However, as the under-resourced and neglected infrastructure of the US and UK health systems continue to buckle under lingering pressures from the pandemic, many residents there are, ironically enough, turning to health tourism. With waiting lists stretching out and preventing people receiving important treatment, and private systems becoming unafford...

What Is Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis and How Can It Help Me Plan My Marketing Mix Modeling?
