RECORD DEMAND FOR STANDS AT TFWA ASIA PACIFIC EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE

 

Online visitor registration for the annual TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference, which will be staged in the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Center in Singapore from 11^th to 15^th May 2014, will open to duty free & travel retail trade visitors on 19^th February at www.tfwa.com.

“TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference is a crucial event in the industry calendar for suppliers, retailers, landlords and agents developing their businesses in the Asia Pacific region,” stated Erik Juul-Mortensen, TFWA President. “We are delighted by the demand for stand space which at this early stage is well over the tally of stands at the same time last year.”

A total of 253 exhibiting companies, representing thousands of brands, exhibited at TFWA Asia Pacific 2013 making this the biggest event yet staged by TFWA in Asia Pacific. Over 2,450 trade visitors, up 13% on the previous year, flocked in to find the latest and the best products to sell in airports, airlines, ferries, cruiseships, border shops and downtown duty free stores across the Asia Pacific region and they were certainly not disappointed.

Plans for this year’s event are well advanced. The business proceedings will kick off with a day of conference and workshops on Monday, 12^th May with speakers of an exceptionally high calibre who have much to offer industry executives in terms of trend information and examples of best practice.

The popular One2One pre-arranged meeting service, which operates in a dedicated suite of meeting rooms in the exhibition, will once again help participants to hook up with key executives in their sector.

TFWA and its industry partners are laying on excellent networking facilities starting with an informal golf tournament on Sunday, sponsored by Inter Parfums, and the Welcoming Cocktail that evening at the elegant Raffles Hotel for delegates and exhibitors.

The TFWA Asia Pacific Bar provides a popular venue for informal meetings throughout the show and will be open this year for breakfast as well as after-show cocktails.

The Chill-Out Party on Tuesday 13^th will take place at Marina Bay Sands Sky Park, a spectacular venue overlooking the bay. The highlight of the social diary will be the Singapore Swing Party on Wednesday 14^th at the glamorous Alkaff Mansion.
