Welcome to the iPad-compatible version of The Moodie Report Print Edition for October 2014, available in full – editorial and advertising – in our unique digital format.
This edition, also available in hard copy, coincides with the annual TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes, which begins this Sunday. The publication is the biggest (and we think best) in The Moodie Report’s 12-year history, featuring interviews, comment and analysis from around the world of travel retail.
We talk to DFS Group Chairman & CEO Philippe Schaus about the luxury goods travel retailer’s plans to enter Europe in 2016, at one of the most iconic sites in the city of Venice.
We carry a major interview with King Power International Group (Thailand) Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, as one of Asia’s leading duty free companies prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
We cover World Duty Free Group in depth, assessing the implications of its new strategy announcements and the departure of CEO José Maria Palencía, as well as a number of on location reports from its latest UK airport store investments.
There’s part two of an exclusive interview with China Duty Free Group President Peng Hui, in which he outlines the company’s wider travel retail ambitions; and a special report from Sunrise Duty Free’s 15th anniversary, including an insight into its ground-breaking e-commerce strategy.
We bring you in-depth interviews with other leading players in the channel, including Dubai Duty Free, ATÜ Duty Free, Duty Free Philippines and Flemingo International, among others.
And we feature the latest in our Family Spirit series, where we focus on independent and family-run companies that are passionate about their products and their businesses – among them Masi Agricola, one of Italy’s leading wine companies, and fashion brand Paul & Shark.
We talk to Puig Chairman & CEO Marc Puig about a century of growth at the fragrance to fashion group, and to chocolate champion Mondelez about 20 years of achievement through its dedicated travel retail division.
There’s a special section devoted to The Trinity Forum, the world’s leading airport commercial revenues conference.
Plus, as TFWA celebrates 30 years of the World Exhibition, we speak to President Erik Juul-Mortensen about the association’s role in the industry now and in the future.
There’s much more besides, including a major focus on luxury goods through our Category Insight supplement that accompanies the issue.
Please enjoy this edition of The Moodie Report with our compliments.
