Attendees enjoyed a seated three-course dinner, complimentary drinks from our sponsors and an afterparty with a live band. Congratulations once again to all those recognised. We hope you enjoy the video!

Organised by TRBusiness and m1nd-set, the travel retail awards is the duty free and travel retail industry’s only awards programme that’s voted for entirely by consumers.

Earning the ‘Voted by Shoppers’ seal of approval is a monumental achievement and recipients of the Winner, Highly Recommended and Finalist accolades can leverage their success by utilising the logo on their packaging, in their promotions/communications and at the 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 and nearly a third (31%) of consumers are more likely to purchase a product displaying the ‘Voted by Shoppers’ Winner logo.

The 2026 programme is set to feature a refreshed line up of categories – stay close to TRBusiness.com for the details.

SAVE THE DATE: The Global Travel Retail Awards 2026 is taking place on Tuesday 29 September once again at Hôtel Martinez in Cannes to coincide with the TFWA World Exhibition.
