INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to the latest issue of The Moodie Davitt e-Zine, in which we speak to Ever Rich Duty Free Shop President Kevin Chiang about new projects and the retailer’s changing consumer base.

The Taiwanese company is currently facing a tough backdrop to trading. Political tensions have meant a sharp downturn in Chinese arrivals on the island – the core nationality for Taiwanese travel retail – from June 2016 onwards.

The company faces the dual challenge of attracting new nationalities and winning back Chinese tourists, but Chiang remains optimistic and notes a number of initiatives that point to an exciting future for the company.

Elsewhere, our round-up of the most eye-catching videos about and related to the travel retail industry features a flight around Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, Copenhagen Airport’s ambitious expansion programme, and three brands that have compelling stories to tell.

In our Spirit of Independence column, in association with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, we speak to Motibhai Group Chairman & CEO Kirit Patel, whose company runs the Prouds Duty Free operation in Fiji.

We also assess five likely influences on travel, tourism and travel retail in the year ahead, including the impact of Donald Trump, Brexit, and Chinese domestic consumption.

Please enjoy this edition of The Moodie Davitt e-Zine with our compliments.
