VIETNAM. Mondelez World Travel Retail is once again lending its support to The Trinity Forum as a Silver Partner.

The 2024 edition of the world’s leading airport commercial revenues event, to be co-hosted by Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) and Imex Pan Pacific Group (IPPG), is to take place on 5-6 November in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The Trinity Forum is owned by The Moodie Davitt Report and organised in partnership with Airports Council International (ACI) Asia-Pacific & Middle East and ACI World.

Mondelez “empowers people to snack right” and has a strong presence in over 150 countries around the world.

The confectionery powerhouse’s portfolio covers all main confectionery categories including chocolate, biscuit, gum and candy. Its globally known brands include Oreo, Ritz, LU, Clif Bar and Tate’s Bake Shop biscuits and baked snacks, as well as Cadbury Dairy Milk, Milka and Toblerone.

Mondelez World Travel Retail Managing Director Jaya Singh said: “Mondelez World Travel Retail is honoured to celebrate 30 years of travel retail this year, a milestone that underscores the evolution of our industry. As we reflect on the past, we recognise the transformative impact of strategic partnerships within the Trinity.

“Our sponsorship of The Trinity Forum is a testament to our commitment to fostering collaboration within the channel. As we look to the future, we are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible through our dedication to delivering exceptional experiences for travellers.

“Mondelez WTR is devoted to driving innovation, leveraging our 30 years of experience to create new opportunities and deliver value for our partners and customers alike.”

As reported, this year’s edition of the Trinity Forum will see unprecedented involvement by airports and airport groups worldwide, reflecting the growing importance of commercial and wider non-aeronautical revenues in the aviation industry.

The programme will highlight opportunities and challenges in both established and emergent markets, the latter including Saudi Arabia (currently seeing profound structural change within its aviation and travel retail sectors), India and Vietnam.

The big-name speakers confirmed for the Trinity Forum include highly influential leaders in the industry such as Qatar Duty Free Senior Vice President Thabet Musleh, one of the most-respected and forward-thinking executives in the airport commercial revenues world. He will be joined by Abu Dhabi Airports Managing Director Elena Sorlini, who drove the opening of the extraordinary new Zayed International Airport in late 2023.

The stellar speaker line-up will also feature Riyadh Airports Company Chief Commercial Officer Abdulaziz Al Asaker, who will outline the opportunities presented by the burgeoning Saudi airport commercial revenues landscape.

Adani Airports Holding Chief Executive Officer Arun Bansal will be a big drawcard as he explores prospects in India and beyond as seen through the lens of this hugely ambitious latter-day giant of the airport world.

IPP Travel Retail CEO Phillip Nguyen will outline a myriad of positive developments in Vietnam within the wider travel and tourism ecosystem, with a special focus on the exciting new Long Thanh International Airport currently in the advanced stages of construction.
