Trophy winners gather on the stage.

TRBusiness is thrilled to reveal the winners of the 2025 Global Travel Retail Awards, which were announced this evening (Tuesday 30 September) at a grand celebration at Hôtel Martinez in Cannes.

Organised by TRBusiness, with event partner 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.

TRBusiness’ Editorial Director Faye Bartle and Anna Marchesini, Head of Business Development, m1nd-set, presented the show, revealing which entries had earned Highly Recommended status and also which products and initiatives shoppers had voted as winners.

The victors were invited up onto the stage to accept their trophies.

Attendees enjoyed a seated three-course dinner, complimentary drinks from our sponsors and an afterparty with a live band. Plus, they enjoyed an exclusive gift bag packed with products from our event partners.

Congratulations once again to all those 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.
