INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to The Moodie Davitt eZine, Travel Retail’s LookBook. In this edition we speak to Heathrow Airport Retail Director Fraser Brown, who sounds an upbeat note about the longer term future for travel retail.
People are willing to engage with shops and restaurants, they are spending, and Heathrow remains a place in which brands want to invest, he says. For the industry, moving faster and with agility to satisfy consumer demand is more important than ever as we emerge from crisis, he adds.
This issue also features an interview with TAV Operation Services CEO Güclü Batkin, who discusses the ambitious plans to expand the company’s presence at airports worldwide through the Groupe ADP, TAV and GMR networks. He also talks about how tailored, personalised hospitality services matter now more than ever.
We bring you our recent major interview with International Diplomatic Supplies Group Founder & CEO Patrick Doyle as IDS Europe is launched this month.
Plus you’ll find our regular Positive Disruptors column, in association with Tito’s, and our choice of the most eye-catching recent campaigns, openings and launches from across the world of travel retail.
Please enjoy this edition with our compliments.
