Reed Exhibitions launches World Travel Retail Expo
Reed Exhibitions, organiser of the World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo (WTCE) has announced the launch of the World Travel Retail Expo (WTRE) in April 2017.
The new exhibition - which will be co-located with WTCE - is dedicated to suppliers of onboard retail items and services. It will take place in Hamburg, 4-6 April 2017 and will highlight the latest products available for travel retail onboard, from fragrances and cosmetics to wines and spirts as well as electronics and gifts. It will also provide a place for airline and rail operators looking to expand their onboard retail offering.
Syreeta Tranfield, Exhibition Director, Reed Exhibitions, said: “As WTCE has risen in popularity, a growing number of travel retail suppliers have recognised the importance of exhibiting and attending WTCE. Launching a dedicated event for travel retail was a natural progression and will complement the highly successful WTCE which celebrated its fifth anniversary in this year.”
In addition to showcasing the latest onboard retail products and services, WTRE will feature a networking bar, seminar theatre and suite of private meeting rooms hosted by brand and product suppliers.
Tranfield comments, “We look forward to welcoming visitors to explore the latest inflight products and services, meet with suppliers and discuss effective ways to boost their onboard retail offering to drive sales opportunities and meet the demands of the modern traveller.”
