Haribo targets gifting market with new travel-related lines

Haribo World Travel Retail is bolstering its presence in global travel retail with new travel-related products.

A branded Travel Bag was one of several new products highlighted at this month’s TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes. The transparent bag contains 100g packs of Goldbears, Happy Cola, Starmix and Tropifrutti sweets. Regional variations to suit the preferred tastes of different markets are also under development.

Also presented at the show was a bear-shaped perspex Haribo Goldbear gift box, containing 35 mini Goldbear bags and finished with a red and blue ribbon. Three new tins in bright green, red, and yellow will launch in travel retail in April 2017.
