Our regular feature, brought to you in association with Strange Nature gin from New Zealand, celebrates memorable scenes, moments, launches and campaigns related to the global aviation and travel retail sphere.
PORTUGAL. Today’s photos, courtesy of Portugal Duty Free – a partnership between Vinci Airports company Aeroportos de Portugal and Aer Rianta International – underline the travel retailer’s sustained commitment to supporting national and regional products.
On LinkedIn, the travel retailer describes a visit to Quinta do Seixo – Sandeman by Sogrape, which offered the Porto Duty Free team the opportunity to learn more about the production of these world-renowned fortified wines and to enjoy the magnificent landscapes over the mighty Douro.
The company notes, “Presenting our country to the world is in the values that move us! At Portugal Duty Free we seek to inspire and train our teams with the best that our country has to offer.”
Showcasing local products is not just an opportunity for travel retailers, it is also a responsibility. The Moodie Davitt Report is deeply committed to supporting such initiatives and the products, crafts and culture they promote.
This column is sponsored by a national brand, Strange Nature Gin from Marlborough, New Zealand – now, we are happy to report, widely listed within the country’s airports and even (via Lotte Duty Free) in some across the Tasman Sea in Australia.
We also publish a regular ‘Local Heroes’ column, featuring outstanding local and national brands across all categories and geographies (please send your contributions to Martin@MoodieDavittReport.com). ✈
