TRBusiness and m1nd-set are thrilled to announce the finalists in the ninth edition of the consumer-voted Travel Retail Awards: Asia Pacific 2026. 

Congratulations to all those listed below – these stakeholders have earned the seal of approval from thousands of travelling consumers in the Asia Pacific region and can now leverage this tremendous recognition by utilising the ‘Voted by Shoppers’ Finalist logo on their product packaging, marketing materials and at point of sale.

Research shows it can be a powerful tool on the shop floor with a m1nd-set study of more than 2,000 travellers showing that 22% of consumers are more likely to purchase a product displaying the ‘Voted by Shoppers’ Finalist logo;.

As a reminder, entrants to the consumer-voted 2025 Global Travel Retail Awards could opt to be enrolled into the 2026 Asia Pacific Travel Retail Awards, at no extra cost.

In order to assess the accolades, m1nd-set analyses data from the global awards, concentrating on the portion of data provided by international travelling consumers who are based in Asia Pacific in order to discover, and shine a light on, the buying inclinations of those travellers in the region.

TRBusiness.com will reveal the Winner and Highly Recommended honours in February.
