CHINA. Yet another spirits brand is making a bold statement at CDF Mall in Haitang Bay, Sanya.
We recently reported on the opening of the hugely impressive, digitally led Maison Martell boutique. This week it is fellow Cognac house Rémy Martin opening its doors with this space at the acclaimed China Duty Free Group-run retail complex, as drinks companies continue to leverage the opportunity offered to them by the addition of wines & spirits to the offshore duty free shopping policy last July.

Jason’s company is well-named for he truly is an expert on the sector, having worked for Sunrise Duty Free for many years and since then developed a highly successful consultancy, training, advisory and publishing business focused entirely on China’s fast-evolving travel retail market. His company is also acting as an agent and distributor for brands in China travel retail.
Look out for a deeply insightful interview with Jason in the forthcoming special edition of The Moodie Davitt Magazine, dedicated to Hainan.
