TFWA Asia Pacific reports 313 exhibitor registrations

SINGAPORE. Some 313 exhibitors have registered for the TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference 2019, which takes place at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore from 12-16 May.

The Tax Free World Association (TFWA) said exhibition floor space had been expanded to over 11,000sq m for the first time, so that the larger number of brands and visitors attending this year could be accommodated.

A total of 60 brands will be making their first appearance at the event or returning after a short period. These include: Kering Travel Retail, Begg & Co., and Suzhou Waytone Co. in fashion, accessories and luggage; Rémy Cointreau and Stoli Group in wines and spirits; and Nuxe and Mavala Switzerland in fragrances and cosmetics.

They additionally include: Chow Tai Fook Jewellery in jewellery and watches; Eu Yan Sang and Patchi in confectionery and fine food; Lamy in gifts and toys; and QuietOn Sleep in electronics.

TFWA’s ONE2ONE personalised appointment service, which connects companies to senior executives from Asia Pacific airports, airlines, and cruise and ferry companies, will also be running.

The speaker line-up for the event conference was announced earlier this month.

TFWA President Alain Maingreaud commented:  “The wealth of interest we have received from duty free and travel retail brands looking to exhibit at the TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference has been overwhelming, and further highlights the strength of trade in the Asia Pacific region.

“With so many exciting brands under one roof, this will be the perfect opportunity for delegates to find out about the latest trends in the region, make new contacts and discuss important business issues.”
