Our daily feature celebrates memorable scenes, moments, launches and campaigns from the global aviation and travel retail sphere.

Duty Free Americas CEO Jerome Falic opens the company’s impressively refurbished store at The Venetian Macau-Resort-Hotel today. Below, Jana, Simon, Jerome and Debbie Falic celebrate the moment after a spectacular opening Lion Dance.

Today’s images come from Macau, where The Moodie Davitt Report is on hand to bring you exclusive coverage of the official opening of Duty Free Americas’ refurbished store at The Venetian Macau-Resort-Hotel, across 5,000sq ft of space.

As we reported, an earlier upgrade – of 6,500sq ft within the overall 11,500sq ft space – was completed in December 2017. That project, which included adding an extra 1,500sq ft to the footprint, drove a doubling of sales in 2018.

The Sands Group and DFA recently agreed a new five-year contract, while the retailer also captured the prized accolade of Best Store Performance – General Retail Award at the Sands Retail Awards 2018.

More images feature below with a full report to follow.

DFA says it has the number one retail location at The Venetian Macau, close to the casino and bus drop-off, with over 20 million visitors a year passing the shop. Although the store is dominated by the beauty category, it also features a small confectionery offer and an impressive Moët Hennessy zone.
