The Trinity Challenge 2022: Call for entries from travel retail innovators

News

SINGAPORE/INTERNATIONAL. There are just 18 days until the deadline for entries to The Trinity Challenge 2022. The initiative, brought to you by Mondelez International World Travel Retail (WTR) in association with The Moodie Davitt Report, aims to inspire creativity and innovation in travel retail.

As reported, Mondelez  WTR is the official Innovation Partner for the upcoming Trinity Forum, set for 1-2 November in Singapore. Registration is now open at https://trinityforum.events.

The context

Travellers are placing sustainability and innovation higher in their priorities than ever before. They expect travel retail stakeholders’ products, policies and practices to reflect a genuine and tangible commitment to sustainability.

Equally, in an age where digitalisation has been accelerated by the pandemic, consumers increasingly demand innovation and technology across the online to offline offer and throughout the travel journey.

Guided by the long-time spirit of the Trinity, uniting under a common goal to champion sustainable and innovative practices in travel retail is what Mondelez World Travel Retail calls ‘Travel Retail Made Right’.

The Challenge

The Moodie Davitt Report and Mondelez World Travel Retail invite proposals for ideas, initiatives and solutions to help brands, retailers, airports, airlines and/or other travel ecosystem stakeholders showcase and drive the industry’s sustainability and innovation credentials to travellers.

The terms of reference are deliberately non-prescriptive in order to encourage fresh, alternative and ground-breaking ideas.

The proposal cannot be a campaign, product, service or solution already launched in the travel retail channel before 1 January 2022.

Submission Requirements & Deadline

A simple pdf (4 pages maximum) entry should be emailed to Jeannie Wong at Jeannie@MoodieDavittReport.com headed ‘The Trinity Challenge 2022’, together with any supplementary visual material by end of day on Friday 23 September. It should outline the concept and its sustainability and/or innovation credentials.

Additional supporting material may be provided via WeTransfer or any other sharing folder.

The Prize

A panel of expert judges will select three short-listed proposals that will have the opportunity to present live (or by video) at the Trinity Forum in Singapore on November 1-2.

All proposals will be featured in the Moodie Davitt Report Trinity Forum issue.

The judges will vote on what they feel is the most impactful proposal. The winner will receive:

    • €5,000 donated to a sustainability cause of the winner’s choosing, courtesy of Mondelez World Travel Retail.
    • A major editorial feature dedicated to the project by Moodie Davitt Report and complimentary advertising in the post-Trinity eZine
    • A certificate declaring ‘Trinity Challenge Winner 2022’

Newly named presenters include IPP Travel Retail Chief Executive Officer and IPP Group Vice President Project Development Phillip Nguyen, who is driving the impressive reemergence and transformation of Vietnam’s travel retail sector (look out for our exclusive series of reports coming soon).

Transformation is also at the heart of what Qatar Duty Free is delivering at Hamad International Airport and company Vice President  Thabet Musleh will be presenting an exclusive overview of the Doha gateway’s extraordinary new expansion which is set to open in time for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 which begins on 20 November.

Dubai Duty Free Chief Operating Officer Ramesh Cidambi, one of travel retail’s most articulate, engaging and insightful speakers, is another star turn. The Middle East travel retailer has bounced back tremendously this year after a tumultous 2020 and 2021 and is set to return to pre-pandemic levels in the relative near-term.

We will reveal more names in coming days.

APTRA President Sunil Tuli, who is also King Power Group (Hong Kong) Group Chief Executive Officer, said, “APTRA is delighted to be participating in November’s Trinity Forum, hosted in our home city of Singapore. The whole industry needs to share information, perspectives and strategies to help us all drive the pace of recovery.

“A key part of our contribution will be the APTRA Exchange session, ‘Navigating the headwinds’, focusing on the multitude of challenging dynamics the industry is grappling with as we get back to business.

“Right across our industry we’re faced with challenges in supply chain issues, overpriced logistics, a shortage of manpower, regional conflicts and escalating fuel costs that are provoking inflation, increasingly impacting on consumers’ willingness and financial ability to travel.

“Ironically, as COVID finally recedes, we now face a perfect storm – but our industry has a strong history of resilience and recovery. We need to respond and rise again with new thinking and new levels of co-operation to get through this together.

“APTRA’s priority mission for The Trinity Forum is to galvanise support amongst the industry and make sure this session delivers valuable commercial outcomes to help us understand and overcome the key challenges we all face.”

Groupe ADP Chief Retail Officer Aude Ferrand will bring her insight to this year’s Trinity Forum

The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie said: “The APTRA Exchange has been a standout element of recent Trinity Forums and we’re delighted that the association is bringing its weight, support and focus on the issues that matter to our event.”

Another presentation sure to be of interest is that from China Duty Free Group (CDFG) President Charles Chen.

As reported, CDFG parent company China Tourism Group Duty Free Corp has just kicked off its secondary listing programme on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, and is set to raise over US$2.17 billion, a war chest that is sure to spell some interesting developments in the months ahead.

Charles Chen has always provided compelling insights during his attendance at previous Trinity Forums. He is shown above in conversation with The Moodie Davitt Report Chairman Martin Moodie at The Trinity Forum in Doha in 2019.

The event couldn’t be timelier as the airport commercial revenues sector continues its steady and encouraging recovery in the wake of increased passenger traffic.

“Never has the need for closer collaboration between sector stakeholders – the essence of the Trinity concept since the event’s launch in 2003 – been greater. Our sector must engage with and delight the traveller as never before.

“We are also pleased to continue our partnership with The Moodie Davitt Report, the industry’s leading business intelligence and news provider for the global travel retail sector. With non-aeronautical revenues being the key driver of airport recovery, this is an opportunity for the sector to collaborate to drive commercial excellence as travel continues to recover. We look forward to welcoming delegates from all over the world and working with Changi Airport Group and ACI World to make this event a success.”

Changi Airport Group Airside Concessions Managing Director Teo Chew Hoon said: “We’re honoured to be the host for The Trinity Forum which will take place in Singapore as an in-person event after a two-year hiatus. The timing could not be better as Singapore welcomes all vaccinated travellers to rediscover the joy of travelling and soak up new Changi cxperiences that await.
