Amsterdam The Style Outlets: Growing at pace and with style

Amsterdam The Style Outlet has made it clear that the experience element is a key component in its value proposition.

FIVE TRAVEL RETAIL TRENDS SHAPING TOMORROW’S AIRPORTS

By 2035, Gen Y will account for the largest share of global spending on air travel, which is why travel retail must do everything it can to remain relevant to this target group. Millennials’ demand for experiences is also shaping their purchasing and travel behavior, forcing retailers to rethink their store design and marketing strategies. Together with the subsequent Gen Z – whose values are guided by topics such as digitalization, authenticity and sustainability – these generations are not only influencing retail in general, but also the concept of the airport of tomorrow.

Food and Beverage Down Under

A look at Australia: A “Hospitality Mindset” to drive sales and deliver positive experiences in spite of Covid-19.

A brave new world – the shape of things to come

The last 12 months has seen the most catastrophic impact on the F&B sector across the globe. First into lockdown and almost certainly one of the last sectors to re-emerge from the crisis, there’s not a lot more that can be said on the devastation to businesses, employees, and guests that hasn’t already been published. But what of the future? What will the post-pandemic foodservice landscape look like?

Creating magnetic customer appeal and next-generation anchors

In recent years, F&B has been hailed as the retail-centric development equivalent of a knight in shining armor; an offer that cannot be replicated online, that delivers customers an experience worth seeking-out and returning to time and again. The onset and impact of Covid-19 highlights the importance of a successful F&B strategy and the development of appealing F&B destinations that respond to how the customer of the future will shop day and night, and how mixed-use places are stitched together.
