Thabet Musleh, Senior Vice President, Qatar Duty Free, spoke to Ross Falconer. Q atar Duty Free truly believes that networking events are at the heart of our industry. “Travel retail is made up of people from all around the world who we might not otherwise get a chance to meet, were it not for dedicated events like this,” says Thabet Musleh, Senior Vice President, Qatar Duty Free. “TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference brings together like-minded individuals who impart their respective worldly perspectives to one gathering, resulting in a wealth of expertise that has the ability to drive this industry forward. In essence, supporting networking is supporting industry growth and we are proud to once again be a partner.” 2024 has already been off to a great start for Qatar Duty Free. It has delivered a series of new luxury openings, as well as several high-profile sports sponsorships with special promotions for shoppers. The P&C and fashion categories are doing better than ever thanks to outstanding and innovative offerings. “I am also very proud to say that we recently won the Skytrax award for World’s Best Airport Shopping,” says Musleh. “Feedback and spend from our shoppers have been fantastic, and I’m looking forward to continue building on this success with my team as we set the bar higher for what an airport experience should look, taste and feel like.” Qatar Duty Free is in a constant state of innovation and evolution. Musleh adds that the work never stops and the newness Qatar Duty Free delivers to travellers is always ongoing. “From retail to food & beverage, our leadership looks over every part of our portfolio for ways to enhance our offering and operations and to ensure that the QDF experience is seamless. Some of our most recent openings at Hamad International Airport include the second Dior boutique along with our first Lacoste boutique, both building on our expansive retail portfolio. In May, we will welcome Dior Spa to our luxury portfolio, an experience I am sure many travellers will be delighted by.” Thabet Musleh, Senior Vice President, Qatar Duty Free: “TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference brings together like-minded individuals who impart their respective worldly perspectives to one gathering, resulting in a wealth of expertise that has the ability to drive this industry forward.
