Lindt Head of Global Travel Retail Peter Zehnder said, “This year’s The Trinity Forum once again highlights the power of coming together as an industry to inspire, challenge and collectively shape the future of travel retail.
“We deeply value the opportunity to collaborate with such forward-thinking partners and to contribute to an event that consistently sets the benchmark for dialogue, creativity and connection within our sector.
“We’re proud to support our partners Qatar Duty Free and The Moodie Davitt Report on what promises to be another memorable The Trinity Forum, and we look forward to adding a touch of Lindt magic to the delegate experience in Doha.”
For over 30 years, Benoy’s Commercial Strategy & Advisory team has shaped the commercial performance of key airports, including London Heathrow, Brussels, Kempegowda International Bengaluru, Dubai International, Singapore Changi, New York JFK and Manchester Terminal 2.
The team integrates passenger insight, financial modelling and market intelligence into terminal design to ensure retail, F&B and concession strategies are commercially viable, enhance passenger experience and remain operationally resilient.
Benoy’s core capabilities include passenger intelligence and market analysis; commercial strategy and positioning; commercial space planning; financial modelling and business case assessment; and commercial advisory.
Benoy Director of Aviation Pam McCarthy said: “Benoy values The Trinity Forum as a platform for meaningful dialogue about the future of the industry. Our participation reflects our commitment to the intersection of commercial intelligence and design, addressing the challenges that shape successful airports for the long term.”
Dayholi is an advanced virtual-reality (VR) platform providing synchronous, interactive 360-degree experiences in 8K resolution.
The concept is enhanced by proprietary sensory technology that adds elements such as scent and wind for a highly immersive experience.
Dayholi Founder & CEO Fjolla Holzleithner said: “Dayholi is proud to sponsor The Trinity Forum and to bring our immersive VR dome to this year’s event. We’re excited to show visitors the future of how brands and destinations can connect with travellers –through fully immersive, multi-sensory experiences that engage sight, sound, wind, scent and even temperature.
“Designed specifically for airports, our VR domes offer a powerful new way for brands and destinations to tell stories and inspire travel in moments that truly matter.
“Having been recognised as The Trinity Forum winners in Singapore in 2022, it’s especially meaningful for us to return with a fully realised, market-ready technology. We’re delighted to present Dayholi at The Trinity Forum and to share what’s next for immersive experiences in travel retail.”
The Trinity Forum is owned by The Moodie Davitt Report and co-organised in a highly successful long-term partnership with Airports Council International (ACI) Asia Pacific & Middle East and ACI World. From 2026, ACI Europe also joins as a partner, which marks a significant enhancement to the event’s scope and influence.
To be held at The St. Regis Doha, the conference will feature a robust programme addressing critical topics, such as evolving passenger behaviours, digital transformation in retail and sustainable revenue strategies.
The preliminary agenda (subject to change) has been previously announced, with additional high-profile names set to be revealed.
