Hamad International: Host airport of the 2019 Trinity Forum, alongside Qatar Airways and Qatar Duty Free
Diageo Global Travel Marketing & Innovation Director Anna MacDonald commented: “As the leader in beverage alcohol in travel retail we are delighted to announce our partnership with The Trinity Forum for the second year in a row.
“Alongside our fellow decision-makers from the airport and travel retail industries, we look forward to celebrating the ever-growing and diverse nature of the travelling consumer and exploring the innovative opportunities that continue to support the development of our industry.”
This year’s edition of The Trinity Forum – the world’s most influential airport commercial revenues conference – is themed ‘Reimagining the Trinity’s role in a phygital world’.
The event will examine how future-proofed the travel retail sector and its business model are in light of the relentless advance of online competition, enhanced consumer transparency, and lack of data sharing. It will also ask whether the traditional industry Trinity of airports, retailers and brands needs to make room for another stakeholder – airlines.
