In the realm of duty-free and travel retail, tomorrow, on the 3rd of October 2023, a significant event is on the horizon. The TFWA Airport Forum Workshop, set to take place from 08:00 to 09:00 in Salon Croisette Lajestic, promises to offer insights into the ongoing efforts to secure the future of non-aeronautical revenue streams within the industry during its ongoing recovery phase.
This workshop will shine a spotlight on the accomplishments of the Airports Council International's ANARA (Airports Non-Aeronautical Revenues Activities) working group, a collaborative initiative that has brought industry experts together to exchange knowledge, experiences, and intelligence regarding best practices in airport operations. Delegates can look forward to a comprehensive discussion as working group members share their recommendations, aimed at fostering an equitable and sustainable business model for the industry.
In addition to these vital discussions, the workshop will feature the presentation of a freshly commissioned report by TFWA, conducted in partnership with the esteemed global consultant Kearney. This report explores innovative approaches to ensure that the duty-free and travel retail sector remains an appealing investment opportunity for both brands and retailers.
The roster of speakers at the TFWA Airport Forum Workshop includes distinguished figures such as Svetlana Simeonova, Head of Commercial at Fraport Twin Star and ANARA coordinator; Isabel Zarza, CEO Southern Europe at Dufry; Fraser Brown, Retail Director at London Heathrow Airport; and Alex Liu, Managing Partner and Chairman at Kearney. Their combined expertise is expected to provide valuable insights into the industry's evolving landscape and strategies for a promising future.
