About the TR Confidence Tracker

The TRBusiness TR Confidence Tracker was launched at the beginning of 2023 to monitor confidence levels among DF&TR stakeholders, for the benefit of the industry as a whole.

The quarterly tracker provides a vital snapshot of how optimism levels track throughout the year to help stakeholders at all levels stay abreast of industry sentiment.

We encourage you to bookmark the results as a useful reference tool.

So far in 2023, the TR Confidence Tracker has shown that while feelings of optimism dominate, pessimism started to creep into the mindset of stakeholders more from the second quarter.

Furthermore, our flash poll showed that DF&TR industry confidence levels dipped significantly in Q3 2023, with 67.6% of respondents to the TRBusiness TR Confidence Tracker feeling optimistic about the global travel retail industry over the next 12 months, compared to 93% in the previous quarter (Q2 2023).

The Q4 2023 TRBusiness TR Confidence Tracker will provide the final piece of the puzzle for 2023.

We’re looking forward to seeing how sentiment may have shifted during the final quarter of the year.

Thank you in advance for your contribution.
