TFWA President Philippe Margueritte enthusiastically participated in all of the activities. “I am always astonished by the incredible things people with disabilities can do, but when you are sitting in the wheelchair yourself, you really see the magnitude of their talent and their resilience,” he said. “It shows that there is no limit and we can really open our cities, our activities and life to all people.” The event was sponsored by m1ndset, Puressentiel, AXA Aatout Coeur, Blueprint Business Development, Haribo, Rempart Mutuelle, Love Tito’s, TravConsult, and TFWA.

Dovey added: “I had a horse accident and yet I’ve been coming to Cannes for about 25 years or so. I was with Harrods, originally, as their buyer, and then World Duty Free buying for them. Just hearing about this, I thought ‘that sounds really cool’. I was a little bit nervous about it, but it’s been a great day and so good.” Monday 29 September 2025 8 T F W A D A I L Y
