BW Confidential is to present this year’s ‘Beauty Retailer of the Year Award’ to travel retail company Avolta.
Avolta CEO Xavier Rossinyol will accept the Award at BW Confidential’s The Beauty Party in Cannes on October 1.
The BW Confidential ‘Beauty Retailer of the Year Award’ recognizes retail excellence, with a particular focus on innovation, technology, CRM and customer understanding.
Avolta is a leading travel retailer operating in 73 countries and 1,000 locations, with over 5,100 points of sale across three segments: duty-free, food & beverage and convenience, and a range of channels, including airports, motorways, cruises, ferries, railway, border shops and downtown.
In October last year, the company revealed the new Avolta name and branding, following the combination of Swiss travel retailer Dufry and travel food and beverage (F&B) company Autogrill. Avolta now describes itself as a leading global travel experience player, with know-how across travel retail, F&B, hybrid and convenience, and with an expanded vision that enables it to put travelers’ needs at the center of its initiatives.
Avolta CEO Xavier Rossinyol comments: “We are deeply honored to be named BW Confidential’s Beauty Retailer of the Year. This prestigious recognition validates our commitment to placing the traveler at the heart of everything we do—just as we do in the beauty industry. Our new strategy focuses on creating memorable, delightful experiences for every traveler, and this award highlights the teamwork and innovation that make it all possible. Thank you BW Confidential for this honor.”
Avolta was selected for the ‘Beauty Retailer of the Year Award’ by BW Confidential’s editorial staff and with input from key industry executives.
The ‘Beauty Retailer of the Year Award’ will be presented to Xavier Rossinyol at BW Confidential’s The Beauty Party, which will take place on the evening of October 1 at the Majestic Hotel in Cannes, during the TFWA World Exhibition.
The Beauty Party is organized in association with key travel retailer Qatar Duty Free, our Platinum Sponsor. Asia distribution company LUXASIA is Gold Sponsor of The Beauty Party.
