World in flux: Travel retail amid today’s geopolitical realities

As geopolitical tension and economic fragmentation reshape the global order, duty free and travel retail find itself at a crossroads. The industry is contending with rising uncertainty across markets, shifting regulatory environments, and mounting operational pressures that challenge long-standing business models. 

In this timely workshop, exclusive findings will be shared from a bespoke report commissioned by TFWA and authored by leading global consultancy Kearney. The report delivers a forward-looking analysis of the forces currently reshaping the travel retail ecosystem. Kearney Partner and Chairman Emeritus Alex Liu and Senior Partner Victor Dijon, co-authors of the study, will join leading industry stakeholders to examine geopolitical risks, emerging market dynamics, and the strategies being deployed to build resilience and relevance in an era of uncertainty. 

The session will be moderated by Michele Miranda, TFWA Conference Director.
