INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to the June edition of The Moodie Davitt Report Magazine, which is dedicated to Latin American travel retail and to the 25th conference hosted by regional industry association ASUTIL (Asociación Sudamericana de Tiendas Libres).
The Moodie Davitt Report is proud to be Official Media Partner for the event, with hard copies of our title presented exclusively as part of delegates’ welcome packs at the ASUTIL Conference in Punta Cana (2-5 June). Besides permanently residing on our website, this digital edition is mailed to our entire global readership.
In our lead interview, ASUTIL President Enrique Urioste homes in on the early days of the association itself in 1994 – before the first conference took place – and the forces that drew a set of unlikely allies together to create a fledgling trade body that would defend and promote their common interests.
We track conference history in words and images and we reproduce excerpts from our own history of Latin American duty free, From the Rio Grande to Tierra del Fuego, published in 2014.
We carry profiles and report on the latest developments among the leading travel retailers in the region, from market number one player Avolta to 2026 ASUTIL Conference host Duty Free Americas, alongside London Supply, Top Brands International/Luryx Duty Free, Lagardère Travel Retail, Bernabel Trading and others.
Please enjoy this edition with our compliments. ✈
