ASUTIL Conference 2024 has already secured sponsorship from major operators and providers including Avolta, Attenza Duty Free, Colonia Express, Carilux Duty-Free, Avianca, Mondelēz International and Japan Tobacco International.
Limited opportunities are currently open for additional brands to support the conference.
ASUTIL General Secretary Carlos Loaiza-Keel said: “The ASUTIL Conference was eagerly anticipated and in demand. With TFWA’s management, we succeeded in making Buenos Aires a memorable event, where we confirmed our conviction about its identity and uniqueness.
“TFWA will once again collaborate with ASUTIL to make Bogotá an even better event. It is a city that deserves the opportunity to be known for its thriving market and vibrant culture.
“We will have a hotel tailored to our networking and socialisation goals, a distinguished list of speakers, and the support of our members and sponsors to make everything unforgettable. We cannot be more excited and enthusiastic.”
TFWA President Erik Juul-Mortensen commented: “The South American duty free and travel retail market is dynamic, rapidly growing and brimming with potential. We are proud to once again support ASUTIL to champion the ASUTIL Conference in Bogotá.
“Working alongside the ASUTIL team last year was a terrific experience and this was reflected in the success of the event.
“We are really looking forward to reconnecting with friends and colleagues from across South America in Bogotá, as we explore the vast commercial potential of this region once again.” ✈
