The Moodie Davitt Report Category Insight October 2015

Welcome to the iPad-compatible version of The Moodie Report Print Edition for October 2015, available in full – editorial and advertising – in our unique digital format.

This edition, also available in hard copy, coincides with the annual TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes, which begins on Sunday. In it you’ll find over 500 pages of interviews, comment and analysis from around the world of travel retail.

Martin Moodie is on location in South Korea, and reports on a year of turmoil in the world’s biggest national duty free market. As part of that report, and in a travel retail world exclusive, we introduce the Tanki’s Family, a cast of characters conceived by the Lotte Duty Free team – and a breakthrough Corporate Social Responsibility project for the leading travel retailer.

We also pay a visit to Sydney Airport, where a new commercial vision is becoming reality, with Gebr Heinemann’s new-look duty free stores a central feature.

We explore World Duty Free Group’s new Heathrow T5 store, the jewel in the crown of its UK operations. And we talk to Heathrow Airport as it reveals a plan to “transform the airport retail experience” following a major review of its service offer.

Dubai Duty Free tells us how it is firmly on course to hit US$2 billion in annual sales, and unveils full details of its retail plan for the new Concourse D at Dubai International.

There’s plenty more besides in this bumper edition, including our in-depth review of The Trinity Forum, the world’s leading airport commercial revenues conference, held in Hong Kong in September.

We report on a remarkable fashion event hosted by Qatar Duty Free, Hamad International Airport and Giorgio Armani, and we introduce a new column, in association with The Design Solution, which examines the role and importance of local touches to airport design, retail and service.

You’ll also find a major focus on luxury goods through our Category Insight supplement that accompanies the issue. Our cover story profiles Starboard Cruise Services and its activities in the fast-growing cruise market.

And we carry a special report that marks the 100th anniversary of Caran d’Ache, one of the great names in Swiss writing instruments, and a stalwart of the travel retail industry.
