The Trinity Forum seeks to improve dialogue and mutual understanding between airports, concessionaires and brands to the benefit of all stakeholders and of that critical fourth party, the consumer.
ACI (www.aci.aero) is the international association of the world’s airports. A non-profit organisation, its prime purpose is to advance the interests of airports and to promote professional excellence in airport management and operations.
The Moodie Report (www.TheMoodieReport.com) is the world’s leading business intelligence provider dedicated to airport and airline non-aeronautical and commercial revenues.
ACI Director General Angela Gittens said: “After suspending the event in 2010 due to the global financial crisis, the global airport travel retail industry is invited to witness a truly impressive line-up of speakers that are leading the industry to new heights.
“Even during the crisis travel retail has continued to impress, invent and improve for the sake of passengers and the airport industry.
“The Trinity Forum in Bangkok will showcase and celebrate that progress. It will represent another milestone in underscoring the importance of commercial revenues for the financial strength of airports around the world.”
The Moodie Report Founder and Chairman Martin Moodie said: “Bangkok will provide a uniquely colourful, cultural and historic setting for the Trinity Forum.
“We’re delighted to be working with King Power International and Airports of Thailand, which have both demonstrated time and again their commitment to the airport commercial revenues sector.
“We’re also hugely excited about the preliminary speakers’ line-up for the 2011 event – certainly the most powerful in the Trinity Forum’s history.”
