Logo - TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference 2017ASIA PACIFIC. TFWA says it is expecting Asia Pacific Conference & Exhibition visitor and exhibitor numbers to meet 2016 levels, with new regional and international brands already confirmed.

The event will be held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre from 7-11 May.

According to TFWA, exhibitor numbers increased by +9% in 2016, while visitor numbers rose by +12%.

New or returning exhibiting brands that have confirmed participation include Tommy Hilfiger, Kering Eyewear, Guerlain, Caudalie, Whyte & Mackay, Champagne Laurent Perrier, Zonin 1821, APM Monaco, Korea Ginseng Corporation and Korea Tobacco & Ginseng Corporation (KT & G Corporation).

TFWA President Erik Juul-Mortensen said: “When it comes to looking for growth and opportunity, all eyes have been on Asia for many years. In 2015, two of the top three countries for sales were in Asia and an impressive six out of the top ten. There is no doubt that Asia will have maintained its dominant position in 2016. In the first quarter of 2016, while some regions were experiencing a fall in sales, Asia Pacific saw growth of +5%.”

“The TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference is a well established gateway to one of the duty free and travel retail sector’s most important markets. As in previous years, the 2017 event will be an essential diary date for all those who have an interest in developing their business in this key region,” Juul-Mortensen concluded.

Further details on this year’s exhibition and a review of the 2016 event are available on  www.TFWA.com.
