exhibit at TFWA World Exhibition is always tremendous and every year
we are delighted to welcome more major international companies to the

travel retail, others are established, but all bring new products,
ideas and excitement to an already rich and vibrant trade floor,”

influential event in the calendar of this dynamic industry and, in my
