INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to The Moodie Davitt eZine, Travel Retail’s LookBook. Our cover story in this edition features the thoughts and insights of China Duty Free Group President Charles Chen about the future of Chinese travel retail, the Hainan offshore duty free market and of the wider industry.
He was speaking at the Virtual Travel Retail Expo (11-15 October), in one of many hugely engaging thought leadership sessions in the Knowledge Hub.
Encouraging a spirit of partnership as business rebuilds, Chen said: “Let’s work together to explore China’s travel retail market and create new patterns in the global travel retail industry, with openness, communication, cooperation and innovation.” He covered an impressive array of themes, from the power of digital to the contractual model to CDFG’s CSR values.

In these pages we carry further highlights from the Knowledge Hub and selected sessions from the Experience Area at the Virtual Expo, with an in-depth review of the entire event to follow in November.
We also bring you our choice of the most eye-catching recent launches, campaigns and events across the wider industry.
Plus you’ll find our regular columns in partnership with Tito’s Handmade Vodka (Positive Disruptors), Mars-Wrigley International Travel Retail (Better Moments Make The World Smile) and CircleSquare (The Customer Experience Column).
