The outlet at the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel is the third Vertu outlet operated by the retailer in the region

King Power Group (Hong Kong) has opened a 301sq ft (28sq m) Vertu shop at the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel. The outlet has a selection of the brand’s luxury phones and is the retailer’s second Vertu duty-free store in the country.

A media event to celebrate the opening was attended by Vertu regional director Giles Rees, King Power Group (HK) managing director Antares Cheng and King Power managing director travel-retail and duty-free Sunil Tuli.

Tuli said: “Vertu was a fairly new brand in Asia [when we opened its first store at Hong Kong International airport in 2003], and King Power spent a lot of time and effort in building up this business. After Hong Kong airport, Macau airport followed, when King Power started to sell these phones at their duty-free shops there. The recent Venetian Macau opening is a sign that King Power is pleased with the business and is committed to its success in the Macau market, after taking the brand there as their exclusive distributors.”
