Announcing India Curated as The Moodie Davitt Report steps up its global + local market focus

INDIA. The Moodie Davitt Report is delighted to announce the launch of India Curated, the newest addition to our hugely successful collection of market- and sector-specific Curated newsletters.

For many years The Moodie Davitt Report has been the leading international information source on India’s travel retail and airport non-aeronautical revenues sectors, the sole travel retail title to visit the country on multiple occasions over the last decade and a half.

Memorably, we brought The Trinity Forum, travel retail’s most influential conference, to Mumbai in 2016, a seminal event in the country’s non-aeronautical and travel retail development.

The Trinity Forum 2016 in Mumbai is widely considered one of the event’s great editions in a proud 21-year history

Uniquely, our coverage embraces duty-free and duty-paid retail, food & beverage, lounges and other hospitality services, airport advertising, foreign exchange, car parking and more.

“The Moodie Davitt Report’s philosophy has always been the sky is the limit but this was getting worryingly close to fulfilling the prophesy” – Flashback to 2007 as Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie visits the then-greenfield Bangalore International Airport (now Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru), an experience whimsically captured in his Blog (those with vertigo look away now)

On 20 March this year, The Moodie Davitt Report was the first to reveal that Mumbai Travel Retail Private Limited, the joint venture between Adani Airport Holdings and Flemingo Travel Retail, had rebranded its retail business under the Ospree name.

“They say you have to go where the future lies,” said The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie. “But I believe that both the present and the future of our industry is anchored by India. And, in fact, we’re also very impressed by the recent past.

“Like so many others, I am hugely excited by the qualitative revolution of India’s aviation, tourism, travel retail, and airport food & beverage and hospitality sectors over recent years. We have chronicled much of that revolution over the past two decades and the launch of India Curated represents a sharpening of that focus.”
