INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to The Moodie Report e-Zine.
This week we’re on location in Hong Kong and Seoul, where we examine two very different but equally exciting retail propositions – and settings.
In our cover story Martin Moodie visits the stunning Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, on the site of the famed former Hong Kong gateway. There he catches up with Kai Tak Cruise Plaza Managing Director and General Manager Trevor Moore, and finds out about the newly opened retail offer at the iconic tourism destination.
In the South Korean capital Seoul, our Asia Pacific Bureau Chief Melody Ng examines Lotte Duty Free’s towering achievements at the vast Lotte World Mall, part of the 123-storey Lotte World Tower development. Appropriately, she discovers that this is travel retailing from the very top drawer.
Both of these stories are exclusive to The Moodie Report, underlining not only our unrivalled coverage but our determination to be wherever in the world the big stories break.
The Moodie Report is determined to champion the burgeoning wine category in travel retail and as part of our enhanced coverage MMI and Emirates Leisure Retail CEO Andrew Day talks about his compelling Wine Journey
in our popular new column, brought to you in association with Treasury Wine Estates.
In our monthly inflight retail column, Eye in the Sky, sponsored by Italian jewellery brand Stroili, DutyFly Solutions Sales and Marketing Director Baptiste Duguit outlines the LS travel retail-owned company’s Asia Pacific ambitions in the wake of a recent contract gain.
Look out too for our hugely popular Traffic Monitor, a weekly round-up of airport and airline traffic results, presented by Jon Elphick; and see how travel retail-related shares performed in Stock Watch, compiled by The Moodie Report Research Manager Victoria Bowskill-Shanks.
Staff can make or break a retailer’s business yet too often they are unsung heroes and heroines. Well we like to sing about them. In The Front Line, our Aer Rianta International-sponsored customer service column, we meet Jasur Isbanyanov, a Dubai Duty Free beauty advisor who aims to ensure that every traveller he meets in-store makes a purchase.
We hope you enjoy this issue of The Moodie Report e-Zine, travel retail’s fastest-growing media platform.
