Conference scheduled

The 2019 Middle East and Africa Duty-Free Association (MEADFA) Conference is scheduled to be held in Muscat, Oman, on November 25 and 26, according to a press note issued by the Tax-Free World Association (TFWA).

‘Managed by TFWA and hosted by Muscat Duty Free, the 18th MEADFA Conference will provide an essential learning and networking opportunity for those already operating in or looking to do business in one of duty-free and travel-retail’s most dynamic regions,’ the note said.

The previous MEADFA Conference, held in Beirut in November last year, attracted 442 delegates from 35 countries.

“After our very successful event in Beirut last year, we are delighted to bring the MEADFA Conference to Muscat, where delegates will have the opportunity to visit one of the region’s best new airports,” MEADFA president Haitham Al Majali was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, Muscat Duty Free general manager Martin Mullen said the Conference presented a great opportunity for all duty-free and travel-retail professionals looking to learn about the latest developments in this burgeoning market.
