Beijing and Singapore to host tax free shows in first half of this year

The TFWA (Tax Free World Association) says that its Asia Pacific Conference & Exhibition 2013 is set to be the largest such show ever staged in Singapore.

The week-long show is due to open on 12 May.

‘Exhibitor numbers have already exceeded 2012 levels with more than 7,500 m2 of exhibition space booked,’ TFWA said in a press note.

The Suntec Centre venue, which is said to have been completely renovated, is set to host 50 new exhibitors, along with many regulars.

TFWA said that details of the conference and workshops would be released soon at tfwa.com.

In the meantime, ‘China’s century: The fast pace of change in China duty free & travel retail’, is due to be held at the Beijing Hotel on March 5-7.

Organised jointly by the TFWA and APTRA (Asia Pacific Travel Retail Association), the event is due to bring together ‘a wealth of international and local expertise, including some of the most influential figures in Chinese duty free and travel retail’.
