Grabbing life by the horns: Puig Travel Retail encouraged Barcelona El Prat Airport passengers to ‘Live the Legend’ as it launched Paco Rabanne’s latest Invictus and Olympéa Legend fragrances.

A phygital playground: At a striking pop-up in Hong Kong, Lancôme Travel Retail Asia Pacific celebrated the ten-year anniversary in 2019 of its Advanced Génifique serum, inviting guests to discover the benefits of microbiome science through playful ‘retailtainment’ zones.

Wishing well: When Changi Airport Group unveiled the spectacular lifestyle destination Jewel Changi Airport in April 2019, it was one of the openings of the year. In fact, make that openings of the century. World-class shopping and dining blends seamlessly with lush greenery and a dazzling array of attractions. One of those is the HSBC Rain Vortex – the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, as pictured here. The photo was taken during The Moodie Davitt Report Duty Calls Charity Dinner, in which the travel retail industry came together to raise over a quarter of a million US Dollars on behalf of Southeast Asian children’s charity Friends-International.
Natural world: Helsinki Airport operator Finavia unveiled a new central plaza called Aukio, which serves as the fulcrum for the airport’s long-haul traffic passengers and therefore in Finavia’s eyes, is a key platform to showcase Finland. That dedication to Sense of Place is manifested in both the décor and the shops at Aukio and particularly with this huge, curved, brilliant video wall displaying scenes of Finnish nature.
