TFWA President Alain Maingreaud said: "With our strong line-up of speakers and contributors, plus a valuable opportunity to connect with key contacts via ONE2ONE e-meetings, TFWA China Reborn is shaping up to be an unmissable event for all industry professionals looking to understand more about China. It will doubtless provide much inspiration for practical ways in which we can begin to pave the way for the recovery of the global duty free and travel retail market in these uncertain times.”
