TFWA launches app

The TFWA (Tax-free World Association) has launched a dedicated app to enhance the delegate experience at its events and promote participation in the wider TFWA community.
‘With growing demand for digital solutions in the duty-free and travel-retail space, the TFWA app will provide greater functionality for anyone attending Association events or looking to keep up to date with the latest industry news,’ the TFWA said in a press note.
‘Delegates at this year’s TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes (September 30 – October 5) will be among the first to try the app for themselves. Users will gain access to a number of exclusive on-site services, such as a new geolocation feature to help them navigate their way around the venue. Other functions include the option to contact and meet business partners directly via the app, and the ability to comment and put questions to speakers at TFWA Conferences. Full details on exhibiting companies are also available through the app.
‘The app will also deliver engaging, topical content on Association news and activities throughout the year, while providing a portable link to the Association to encourage interaction and foster a sense of community among duty-free and travel-retail professionals.’
TFWA President Erik Juul-Mortensen said that, much like the rest of the duty-free and travel-retail industry, the Association was investing heavily in digital technology to help it better engage with delegates and provide them with new ways to learn from their colleagues and share their views on important business issues.
The TFWA app is available to download at the App Store and Google Play.
