The Moodie Davitt eZine: Resilience and recovery in Latin America

INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to The Moodie Davitt eZine, Travel Retail’s LookBook. In this edition, we feature a special report on Latin American travel retail, timed to coincide with the return of the ASUTIL Conference this week in Buenos Aires, on 7-8 June.

We speak to Dufry, the major duty free powerhouse in the region, about trading trends and the outlook for the business. ASUTIL delegates will also hear from Dufry CEO Xavier Rossinyol, who will take part in a Q&A with The Moodie Davitt Report President Dermot Davitt on day one of the event.

As the Latin American border business bounces back from the impact of the pandemic, Neutral by Luryx CEO Marcelo Montico talks about the acceleration of sales growth, new shopping formats and the outlook for the rest of 2023

We also speak to Bernabel Trading about how the ferry retail business is roaring back, and to Siñeriz Free Shop, one of the long established players in the Uruguay-Brazil border channel, about its factors for success.

We are delighted to introduce a new column, Through The Red Door, in association with Elizabeth Arden, in which we speak to women in travel retail leadership roles.

And we feature the latest in our High Flyers column with ARI, with a focus this time on digital innovation. ✈
