Retailers and category brand owners from across the globe participated to the Duty Free World Council’s consultation process through 2020 and into 2021 to create an industry specific Code of Conduct for the sale of Confectionery, Chocolate and Biscuit Products in Duty Free & Travel Retail.
The Code recognises the unique nature of the channel and differences from domestic market retailing, targeting sales primarily towards adult purchasers with a focus on gifting, premium and limited edition products.
To facilitate the rollout of the Code and to act as an aid to interpretation a training course is being developed to support, guide, and facilitate the implementation of the Code by all involved in the sales of these products in the Duty Free and Travel Retail industry, particularly retail professionals, category vendors and their marketing partners.
