More brands than ever before will be exhibiting at TFWA World Exhibition which opens in the Palais des Festivals in Cannes on Sunday, 21st October.
A total of 462 exhibiting companies will be present, all suppliers of premium and luxury products to global duty free and travel retail outlets and most of them with several international brands on their stand.
The combined exhibition space has topped 21.000 square metres for the first time ever and includes the new Beach Village where Philip Morris International will inaugurate a large exhibition space together with a number of other exhibitors.
The creation of the Beach Village and the careful utilisation of all available space are still not sufficient to satisfy the increasing demands for exhibiting space which means that some companies have had to remain on the waiting list.
There will be 38 new exhibitors present, some of them companies returning after an absence, including Amore Pacific, Elizabeth Arden, By Terry and Victoria’s Secret in Fragrances & Cosmetics; Hugo Boss, Malo, Mandarina Duck and Samsonite in Fashion, Luggage and Accessories; Bodegas Osborne, Botran Rum and Chateau Le Puy in Wine & Spirits; Glam Rock in Jewellery & Watches and many others.
The new Beach Village will also be host to the new indoor Beach Restaurant with a delightful terrace facing the sea. This restaurant replaces the former Bay Restaurant.
The on-site Business Centre has been refurbished with new meeting rooms and the TFWA Members’ Lounge has also been redesigned to make it even more comfortable and convenient.
All participants at TFWA World Exhibition will benefit from new interactive navigator touch screens to help them find their way around the exhibition. This system was trialed at TFWA Asia Pacific in May and proved very popular.
