Imperial Brands is prioritising collaborative efforts with its DF&TR partners to push the tobacco category’s credentials as a driver for industry recovery.

Lucy Alepochoriti, Head of Corporate and Legal Affairs, Imperial Brands Global Duty Free & Export said: “Tobacco remains a significant category in global duty free, drawing consistent footfall and contributing to the dynamic retail environment.

“The tobacco category stands as a strategic force driving recovery and shaping the future of the industry in the Asia Pacific region. Imperial Brands prioritises collaboration as the cornerstone of achieving success.

“We firmly believe that only through collective efforts with our business partners can we forge a more promising future for travel retail and duty free, as well as for our consumers. We therefore extend our gratitude to TFWA for their exceptional organisation, providing a platform for fostering long-term industry partnerships.”
