TFWA President Erik Juul-Mortensen, set to stand down from his position, adorns the TFWA October edition.

TRBusiness is delighted to unveil its October and Top 10 International Operators reports, dovetailing with the TFWA World Exhibition and Conference this week (29 September – 03 October).

Meanwhile, in the October cover interview, Erik Juul-Mortensen calls out the continued lack of collaborative data sharing as leaving the duty free and travel retail industry ‘stuck in the digital dark ages’.

“This data deficit robs us of credibility when we lobby to defend our industry; we cannot quantify the market and show how it underpins the travel ecosystem,” he asserted.

A look at travel retail developments in Europe, the Middle East & Africa, Asia Pacific and the Americas in our Around the World section accompanies feature-length reporting on the rise of AI, quiet luxury in China, the new rules of transformative airport design and much more.

TFWA celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and TRBusiness has invited stakeholders to share their most poignant and vivid memories on the association’s milestone.
