HONG KONG, CHINA. The Asia Pacific Travel Retail Association (APTRA) announced today it is hosting the first APTRA East Asia Forum in Hong Kong on 3-4 December.
APTRA President King Power Group (Hong Kong) Chief Executive Sunil Tuli said, “Following the popularity of the APTRA India conference and, in response to requests from several members, it is timely for us to shine the spotlight on the eastern region of Asia Pacific.
“With significant geo-economic turbulence and trade shifts, it is an especially relevant time to support our members navigate these conditions and understand multiple dynamics, including the evolution of the Chinese consumer, the influence of emerging markets and the fact that tourism figures in the surrounding region are outpacing retail growth.
“APTRA is on a mission to support our members and the wider industry through opportunities and through challenging times. As an organisation spanning over 45 markets, our intention is to continually build on the service we offer across the entire region by sharing insights, research and experience, coupled with valuable networking opportunities.”
Further details will be announced in mid-June. In keeping with APTRA’s not-for profit status, tickets for the event will be priced to cover costs. ✈
