Travel retail conference to be held in Shanghai

The second TFWA China’s Century Conference (CCC) is due to be held at the Jing An Shangri-La Hotel, Shanghai, on March 10-12. The first CCC event was held in 2013.

CCC events are designed to explore the commercial opportunities resulting from the rapid development of aviation and transport infrastructure within China, and to deepen delegates’ understanding of Chinese travellers and their evolving tastes and expectations.

Among the topics that the 2015 event will address are the new Shanghai Free Trade Zone and its implications for foreign investment; new aviation infrastructure developments such as the Beijing Daxing International Airport; the economic reforms being undertaken by the new Chinese leadership; and whether or not the slowdown in the luxury goods market will have a lasting impact on duty free and travel retail.

Online registration for the 2015 conference, which is being organized by TFWA in partnership with the Asia Pacific Travel Retail Association, is now open.
