Deadline looms for ‘Journey to Japan’ with Shiseido Travel Retail

JAPAN. The deadline looms on 31 October to take part in Shiseido Travel Retail and The Moodie Davitt Report’s ‘Journey to Japan’.

A very special experience awaits two guests from from the travel retail industry*, to be selected soon. During the weekend of 26-27 October 2019, you and a partner of your choice can witness the true meaning of ‘omotenashi’ – the art of Japanese hospitality – in Tokyo and Yokohama, winning a five-star accommodation package that includes business-class travel, transfers and cultural activities, while visiting the country during a world-class sporting event, the Rugby World Cup.

To put your name forward for this unforgettable experience, simply take a photo of yourself at a Shiseido counter, anywhere in the travel retail world, and send it with your name and company to: Dermot@MoodieDavittReport.com by 31 October. The extended deadline allows industry executives travelling to The Trinity Forum in Shanghai an additional opportunity to take part.

There has been intense interest already from around the travel retail world (with selected images from around the industry presented on this page). Send us your photo for a chance to join us in Japan.
