TFWA is delighted to announce that the speakers who will headline at the opening plenary of the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference on Monday 19th October 2015 in the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, Cannes are former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Peter Long, Joint CEO of TUI Group.
As New York Mayor from 1994 to the end of 2001, Rudy Giuliani led the city through the aftermath of the 09/11 attacks. Besides being an authority on crisis management, he has demonstrated his capacity for providing guidance and support, rebuilding morale and uniting citizens towards a common goal. His broad political perspective and successful business career mean his views are sought on a wide range of subjects from leading change to economic and foreign policy.
TUI Group, headquartered in Germany, is the world’s largest leisure, travel and tourism company and operates several airlines, hundreds of hotels, travel agencies, retail stores plus a dozen cruise ships. Peter Long brings a remarkably broad overview of current global travel trends, tourism and retail.
Welcoming the keynote speakers to the stage will be Erik Juul-Mortensen, President TFWA, who will present his annual State of the Industry address, summarising progress, successes and challenges facing the duty free & travel retail industry.
In addition to the plenary conference, TFWA will host two workshops at the Hotel Majestic on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 8am to 9am.
The first, Market Watch: South Korea, will focus on the world’s largest single duty free & travel retail market. The country’s travel retail landscape has changed considerably this year with the award of new concessions at Incheon International Airport and the imminent allocation of lucrative downtown duty free licences in Seoul and Jeju. Despite the recent downturn caused by the MERS outbreak, the market is one of the industry’s most vibrant.
The second workshop, Inflight Focus, will update delegates on the latest trends in the inflight retail channel, featuring senior representatives from airlines and concessionaires.
