VIETNAM. Travel experience player Avolta has once again lent its support as Diamond Sponsor for The Trinity Forum to be co-hosted by Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) and Imex Pan Pacific Group (IPPG) on 5-6 November in Ho Chi Minh City.
The Trinity Forum is the world’s leading travel retail and airport commercial revenues conference. It is owned by The Moodie Davitt Report and organised in partnership with Airports Council International (ACI) Asia-Pacific & Middle East and ACI World.
Avolta was formed in 2023 through the business combination of travel retail powerhouse Dufry and the world’s leading travel-related food & beverage player Autogrill.
Avolta’s portfolio now extends to 73 countries and more than 1,000 locations, with over 5,100 points-of-sale across three segments – duty free, F&B and convenience. These are spread across various channels, including airports, motorways, cruises and ferries, railway, border shops and downtown.
Across its estate, Avolta enjoys access to 2.3 billion passengers each year and employs more than 76,000 people.
Avolta CEO Xavier Rossinyol (who will address this year’s event) said: “I could tell you how I am proud to be Trinity’s Diamond sponsor for the second year running, but this is only a small part of it. The headline is this: Trinity is an opportunity to revolutionise how we collaborate.
“At Avolta we’re all about win-win-win partnerships that challenge traditional models, putting the traveller front and centre. Join us in discussion with other industry trailblazers at this year’s Trinity Forum. Together, we’ll explore bold ideas and set our industry on course for exceptional heights.”
As reported, The Trinity Forum promises to deliver an outstanding conference programme with a stellar line-up of speakers. These include Qatar Duty Free Senior Vice President Thabet Musleh, one of the most-respected and forward-thinking executives in the airport commercial revenues world, and Abu Dhabi Airports Managing Director Elena Sorlini, who drove the opening of the extraordinary new Zayed International Airport in late 2023,
Adani Airports Holding Chief Executive Officer Arun Bansal will be a big drawcard as he explores prospects in India and beyond as seen through the lens of this hugely ambitious latter-day giant of the airport world. They will be joined by Riyadh Airports Company Chief Commercial Officer Abdulaziz Al Asaker, who will focus on the opportunities presented by the thriving Saudi airport commercial revenues landscape.
