INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to The Moodie Davitt e-Zine, issue 200 – a landmark edition for a landmark publication.
We introduced the e-Zine on 11 August 2011, almost nine years after the launch of our initial title The Moodie Report. It has been a rewarding, at times thrilling 200-chapter journey, pushing out publications of daunting technical complexity and real journalistic ambition and urgency every two weeks, sometimes under ferocious deadline pressure.
We are proud to say that this week’s cover story is one of our best to date. We bring you a comprehensive pictorial report on the Grand Opening of T Fondaco dei Tedeschi by DFS – one of the defining moments in the LVMH & Robert Miller-owned travel retailer’s 56-year history. On these pages we aimed to convey the majesty and splendour of this modern-day Merchant of Venice, and the rebirth of a cultural icon in the city of Venice.
Also in this issue, we bring you the best images and main talking points from the official opening of Dufry’s revamped World Duty Free store at Birmingham Airport and reflect on another memorable TFWA Exhibition in Cannes. Plus there’s much more besides.
Looking ahead, we pledge to take The Moodie Davitt e-Zine to new heights, including some exciting launch developments in coming months. Issue 300 already feels in sight.
Please enjoy this edition of The Moodie Davitt e-Zine with our compliments.
