INTERNATIONAL. Time is running out to vote in the Frontier Awards, the travel retail industry’s own “˜Oscars’. For the first time this year, the organisers, Frontier magazine, are using a popular vote to draw up a shortlist for the top award, the Airport/Land-Based Retailer of the Year.
Voting is being conducted through a link on the home page of The Moodie Report.com
The merits of the shortlist will then be considered by a high-quality jury consisting of: Luxottica Group Duty Free Manager Martha Rosas; Korean Air Vice President Inflight Sales Division Heather Cho; Aldeasa Jordan CEO Pedro Castro; Altadis Global Travel Retail Manager Jean-Philippe Aucher; William Grant & Sons Duty Free Director Ylva Binder; and The Nuance Group Vice-President Business Development Carlo Bernasconi.
The voting deadline is 23 June and anyone in the industry is entitled to a single vote, selecting their top three operations. To vote, click on the Frontier icon in the left hand column of The Moodie Report.com’s home page.
The Moodie Report.com will also present its inaugural Travel Retail Website of the Year Award at the Frontier gala evening in Cannes this October. An initial short-list is currently being drawn up – and again the industry will get to have its say before final judging.
