The winners of the 2023 Global Travel Retail Awards were announced at a glittering ceremony at Hôtel Martinez in Cannes earlier this evening.

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.

This year’s edition attracted a 38% rise in the number of entries, compared to 2022, with a bumper influx of product entries and an impressive number of consumer-conscious stakeholders being attracted by the refreshed lineup of promotion and CSR awards.

The atmosphere was electric, with a packed room of stakeholders from around the world cheering on the winners as they stepped up onto the stage to collect their trophies.

The awards were introduced by TRBusiness Editorial Director, Luke Barras-Hill, and presented by Managing Editor Digital & Marketing Faye Bartle.

On top of enjoying the exciting ceremony, ticket holders received welcome drinks, an attendee gift bag packed with fabulous products, a premium dinner, and an afterparty featuring live band Brightlights.

Congratulations once again to all those who have been recognised. We encourage you to celebrate your success by utilising the ‘Voted by Shoppers’ logo on your packaging, at the point of sale and on your marketing materials. 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.
