Consumers decide: The ‘Winners’ and ‘Highly Recommended’ recipients of the Global Travel Retail Awards will be announced on Tuesday 1 October during an unmissable evening at the the Hôtel Martinez in Cannes.

TRBusiness is pleased to reveal today (1 August) the finalists of the 2024 Global Travel Retail Awards – the duty free & travel retail industry’s only consumer-voted awards.

Organised by TRBusiness and m1nd-set, the Travel Retail Awards champions product innovation, commercial partnerships and corporate responsibility across 24 categories*, several of which are new to this year’s edition including ‘Best Airport Retail Initiative’ and ‘Best Cruise Retail Initiative’, both of which feature as part of a refreshed lineup of non-product  segments.

Meanwhile, separate ‘Best Jewellery Product’ and ‘Best Watches & Watch Accessory Product’ (previously ‘Best Watches & Jewellery Product’) and revamped price-partitioned sections for alcohol and beauty respond to the shifting demands of a vibrant, dynamic – yet challenging – trading landscape for travel retail that continues to improve amid the post-pandemic recovery.

A 7.5% increase in entries across the programme in 2024 underscores what have been consecutive rises in year-on-year submissions since the Covid-19 crisis, as suppliers, brands, retail operators, airports and other stakeholders submit their entries to be scrutinised by travelling consumers – the gold standard benchmark for evaluating progress in the business.

Finalists are awarded the ‘Voted by Shoppers’ accolade, which can be used in promotional and marketing materials, and at point of sale.

Research by m1nd-set has shown that 22% of consumers are more likely to purchase a product displaying the ‘Voted by Shoppers’ finalist logo.

The grand awards ceremony, which will take place on the evening of Tuesday 1 October at the Hôtel Martinez in Cannes during TFWA World Exhibition & Conference week, will crown the ‘Winners’ and ‘Highly Recommended’.

Inimitable consumer insights; premier hospitality

Attendees will be treated to a drinks reception sponsored by Tito’s Vodka and Suntory Global Spirits, a sumptuous three-course meal, bar service, coffee served with delectable chocolate samples courtesy of sponsor KEX Confectionery, plus a live band and exclusive after-party at the only consumer-voted awards fixture in the industry’s event calendar.

As reported, the acclaimed awards opened for entries in February with the submissions portal closing last month.

A huge congratulations to all those that entered and have been shortlisted – and good luck on the evening!
