INTERNATIONAL. This week The Moodie Report e-Zine looks behind two of the week’s most intriguing stories: the strong (and as yet undisclosed) field of bidders for duty free at Brisbane Airport; and another powerful investor putting its weight behind ambitious retailer Flemingo Duty Free.
We examine important traffic figures on both a global level – where IATA believes passenger demand has turned a corner – and in China, where state statistics reveal the scale and growth of the air passenger market in 2012.
We also muse on two potential disruptions to the Asian travel retail business: an overtly and increasingly aggressive North Korea, and a new SARS-like virus causing concern in the region. And our 7 Days in Travel Retail section examines many more of the week’s biggest and most interesting stories.
This week’s infographic section illuminates a strong first-quarter sales performance by Dubai Duty Free. And we close on the Front Line at DFS Scottswalk Galleria in Singapore, where watch specialist Ken Nyau wins over customers with his big smile and wide product knowledge.
