Workshop – AP Travel Retail Pulse: A Health Check and the Innovation Imperative
Agora, World of Innovation
Passenger volumes are returning and confidence is improving — but Asia Pacific travel retail is not simply picking up where it left off. This session offers a health check on the region’s performance today, from spending patterns and category shifts to how travellers are shopping differently. It also tackles the bigger question: can innovation turn a rebound into a stronger, more sustainable growth story?

TFWA C-Suite: The Innovators' Agenda
Agora, World of Innovation
Travel retail is being reshaped by a new consumer reality—one defined by digital fluency, shifting values, and rising expectations of relevance and experience. For an industry built on scale and tradition, the challenge is no longer whether to innovate, but how fast and how fundamentally it must adapt.
The session will explore the strategic decisions facing travel retail as it adapts to today’s consumer. From rethinking retail formats and operating models to integrating technology, data, and collaboration into decision-making, The Innovator’s Agenda examines what genuine innovation looks like—and what the industry will need to succeed in the future.

Workshop – TFWA Market Watch: China
Agora, World of Innovation
China’s travellers are once again reshaping global retail—this time setting the pace for what next-generation travel retail looks like. As expectations shift beyond price and product, the spotlight is moving to emerging brands, creative storytelling, and retail experiences designed to surprise, engage, and endure. This workshop explores the forces redefining China’s travel retail landscape: the rise of new brand voices, Hainan’s role as a live testing ground for innovation, and the growing importance of immersive, experience-led retail. As China’s inbound and outbound markets enter their next phase, the session asks a critical question for the industry: how ready are we to deliver travel retail that feels truly next generation?

Workshop – TFWA Market Watch: India
Agora, World of Innovation
India’s ascent is not a forecast—it’s already here, reshaping everything from aviation capacity to global brand strategy. This workshop explores the country’s new travel consumer: young, digitally fluent, value-conscious yet ambitious, and increasingly global in taste. We’ll look at how airports are scaling to meet demand, how brands are localizing with intelligence, and why India’s payment and e-commerce innovations could become models for the rest of the world. The core challenge we’ll interrogate: how do global players tap into one of the world’s fastest-growing travel ecosystems without defaulting to outdated playbooks?
