Purpose

The association organises exhibitions and conferences, and commissions market research. It also monitors the industry’s state of health[1].

The first Asia Pacific-based event was held in Singapore in 1995. 2017 marked 70 years since the opening of the world's first airport duty free shop at Shannon Airport in Ireland. On its 40th anniversary in 2024, TFWA’s role in duty free and travel retail was recognised[3].
Structure
[edit]Founded under the French law of 1901 governing non-profit associations, TFWA is led by a President[4] working with a board and management committee both drawn from member companies. A team of permanent staff manages the association's day-to-day activities.
