“Travel Retail is becoming a more and more complex global industry, catering for the greatest possible diversity of consumer tastes and requirements as travellers seek out their favourite brands at attractive prices, wherever they may be. At the same time they are looking for an experience which also reflects the unique ambiance of a city or region they are visiting.”José Maria Palencia
