INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to The Moodie Davitt Magazine for April, which features a series of in-depth reports on the Americas and Middle East markets.
This edition is mailed digitally to our worldwide audience, while hard copies are available at the IAADFS Summit of the Americas, which runs from 16-19 April.
As our cover story underlines, this is a period of vigorous expansion and investment by Vantage Airport Group. In these pages we report on projects it is involved in at New York LaGuardia Terminal B, Kansas City and Montego Bay Sangster International airports. In all three cases, Sense of Place is a cornerstone of commercial thinking and design, and central to the retail and dining offer.
Our extensive regional round-up of the Americas market also features the views of senior Dufry Group executives about trading trends and the exciting business combination with Autogrill. We bring you other retailer profiles too, including 3Sixty Duty Free, Duty Free Americas and WHSmith.
From the Middle East, we hear about the pace of progress at Dubai Duty Free from Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Colm McLoughlin, who says the retailer is on course for a record sales high in 2023.
We also bring you the latest developments from Hamad International and Qatar Duty Free, as well as from Bahrain Duty Free and Iraq Duty Free.
There is much more besides in this edition, which we hope you find informative and enjoyable. ✈
