TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference
TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference 2019
For well over a decade, the TFWA Asia Pacific Conference has offered the regional duty free & travel retail industry the opportunity to explore the issues that are shaping the market’s biggest region by sales.

This year’s event featured a new, plenary-only format allowing a range of topics to be addressed and discussed by all delegates, with audience interaction encouraged via the TFWA App. As ever, the TFWA Asia Pacific Conference provided an array of perspectives from expert speakers drawn from within and beyond our industry.

Topics for discussion included the current climate for business in Asia, new developments in retail and customer engagement, and ways travel retail can help ensure a sustainable future – for brands and for the environment.

At the close of the conference at 16:30, delegates were invited to attend an informal networking session, sponsored by Incheon International Airport Corp and Nestlé, and enjoy the refreshments provided.
