TFWA is pleased to announce that the next TFWA Asia
Pacific Exhibition & Conference will take place at the Marina Bay
Sands Expo & Convention Center (MBS) in Singapore from Sunday
11th to Thursday 15th May, 2014.
The decision to return to MBS next year was taken at a
recent meeting of the TFWA Management Committee.
Commenting on the decision, Erik Juul-Mortensen,
President TFWA, said: “The TFWA Asia Pacific event in May was a
resounding success with more visitors, more exhibitors and a larger
exhibition space than ever before. The switch from our usual venue to
the Marina Bay Sands was arranged at the last minute because of
circumstances outside our control. Not only did the MBS management
team rise to the challenge and meet our diverse needs very
efficiently, but it is now clear that the new venue was liked by the
majority of participants who expressed a preference.
“In addition, MBS is able to stage TFWA Asia Pacific
Exhibition & Conference in the same week as this year which fits
well into the duty free and travel retail calendar. The Management
Committee has decided, therefore, to entrust to MBS our exhibition
and conference event in 2014 and we will now embark on the detailed
planning process.”
In a survey conducted during the show week, a
substantial majority of participants, both visitors and exhibitors,
expressed their preference to return to MBS next year.
Of
those who completed the survey, 86% of exhibitors and 83% of visitors
were satisfied or very satisfied with MBS
as the venue for the 2013 TFWA Asia Pacific Conference &
Exhibition
with high scores for all key aspects: set-up and logistics, quality
of exhibition hall, quality of food & beverages, hotel &
services, and way-finding.
Juul-Mortensen:
“We will take into consideration all the comments and
recommendations received from participants during the survey and also
the observations made by our executive team as we move forward. MBS
proved to be an efficient and popular venue for TFWA Asia Pacific
this year and we look forward to an even more successful event in
2014.”
