The Moodie Davitt eZine: Out of darkness – Hainan leads post-COVID-19 recovery

INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to The Moodie Davitt eZine – Travel Retail’s Lookbook. In this edition we cast the spotlight on companies and individuals whose leadership, vision and innovation are lighting the way out of the COVID-19 crisis.

We step aboard the ‘Hainan express’, as China Duty Free Group (CDFG) and Hainan Island tourism authorities prepare for a resurgent travel and tourism market (already under way) in the Chinese resort. We speak to CDFG President Charles Chen, who pledges to support industry partners through the worst of the downturn in other regions with a sales opportunity at the spectacular CDF Mall.

We examine Lotte Duty Free’s Smart Store, an innovative non-face-to-face shopping platform, which offers a vision of retailing for today and tomorrow, and we explain the thinking behind our own Virtual Travel Retail Expo that has attracted such strong interest.

We’re also pleased to bring you the first in a new series of columns from experiential agency CircleSquare about the evolution of shopping, which outlines why there are reasons to be upbeat about the industry’s future, even today.

This edition also features The FAB eZine, dedicated to the food & beverage market, with OTG, Paradies Lagardère and a view from experienced executive Kevin Zajax on how F&B players can minimise the impact of the crisis.
