China conference confirmed

Organizers of the TFWA (Tax Free World Association) China’s Century Conference said yesterday that registration for the conference had opened.
According to a TFWA press note issued yesterday, the Conference is due to be held in Sanya, Haitang Bay, Hainan, on March 5-7.
The China Duty Free Group (CDFG), which is China’s leading travel retailer with more than 200 duty free stores at airports, railway stations, ferry terminals and other travel locations, has been named as the ‘Diamond Sponsor’ of the event.
“We are delighted that China Duty Free Group is supporting our conference in Hainan as Diamond Sponsor,” Erik Juul-Mortensen, TFWA president, was quoted as saying. “The event is taking place close to the CDF Sanya International Duty-Free Shopping Complex, one of the most impressive duty free operations anywhere in the world. As such, we feel that the location for the 2019 conference is entirely appropriate.
“With the support of CDFG and our other valued sponsors, we will strive to provide delegates with another informative and enjoyable conference in China, which of course remains one of the largest and most important markets in our industry.”
The conference, which will take place in the Grand Hyatt Hotel at Sanya Haitang Bay, is organized by TFWA in partnership with the Asia Pacific Travel Retail Association (APTRA).
