TFWA launches buyer programme for Asia
By Melita KielyThe Tax Free World Association (TFWA) has launched its Hosted Buyer Programme to help industry partners attending this year’s Asia Pacific Exhibition and Conference.
The TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition and Conference will take place in Singapore from 9 to 12 May.
Once registered for the Hosted Buyer Programme, select retailers will receive assistance from the trade fair to help meet the accommodation costs of buyers who will be attending the event.
Erik Juul-Mortensen, TFWA president, said: “As the duty free and travel retail industry continues its recovery in the wake of the pandemic, it is more important than ever for businesses to maintain strong working relationships.
“Our events provide a forum for these relationships to be formed, to grow and to prosper. TFWA wants to do everything we can to provide support to our partners as we navigate together through these difficult times.
“We are once again operating our Hosted Buyer Programme in order to help retailers get the most from TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition and Conference, the summit meeting for the regional industry.”
More information about the Hosted Buyer Programme can be found by emailing TFWA customer relations manager Céline Fossé at c.fosse@tfwa.com.
The duty free and travel retail trade fair confirmed the return of its physical Asia Pacific and Cannes shows last month. In June 2021, TFWA Asia Pacific took place virtually in Hainan.
Last year’s World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes welcomed more than 3,000 visitors and 272 exhibitors.
