HAINAN SPECIAL EdITION MOVES TO ALL-dIgITAL FORMAT

TFWA Asia Pacific Hainan Special Edition will now move to an all-digital format, taking place from 21st June to 24th June. The move comes after careful consideration of the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the global health crisis by the TFWA Board and Management Committee. The TFWA team is now fully focused on delivering a world class virtual event for industry professionals to ‘meet’, network and learn more about the latest duty free and travel retail developments in the Asia Pacific region in a digital environment. All workshops and meetings planned via TFWA’s ONE2ONE service will now take place online, while Tuesday’s conference will be livestreamed to delegates across the world. “Our all-digital format for TFWA Asia Pacific Hainan Special Edition will prove invaluable and enlightening for attendees looking to conduct business in a vibrant online environment, and to gain insight into the rapid recovery of the Asia Pacific travel market. After this event, all eyes will turn to Cannes as our first opportunity to personally greet the industry once again. Clearly this event, coming after such a long hiatus, will be even more eagerly anticipated than ever, and no effort will be spared to make this a worthy platform to celebrate the return of travel.” TFWA President Jaya Singh

CHANEL OPENS A NEW SPACE AT HAMAd INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The Qatar airport now hosts a new round space of 33 square metres, where the entire collection of Chanel perfumes can be discovered at the olfactive bar developed by the Chanel Fragrance Laboratory. Thanks to an innovative ceramic blotter system, the table houses all Chanel fragrances, including the famous No. 5, which celebrates 100 years of celebrity this year, and its five interpretations. At its heart the location will house Les Exclusifs de Chanel, including Le Lion, the latest addition to this collection of now 18 fragrances. The retail space is designed to offer an exclusive environment to experience the world of Chanel fragrances, while being serviced by a specialized team of fragrance advisors. Structured by a contrast of black and white space, with beige and gold, this new space echoes the unique codes of the House of Chanel, recreating a luxurious “boutique style” ambiance and embodying the distinct Chanel spirit.
