The Duty Free and Travel Retail World Council met on October 25 in Cannes and came to agreement on how the world's associations could work closer together. Key among the outcomes is the creation of a website with links to existing national, regional and association sites.
It was also agreed that the Council will act as the single voice for the duty-free and travel-retail industries on global issues, that it would seek to promote and defend industry interests internationally and that each region will nominate a delegate and alternate to serve on the council. Representation will be finalized by March 2004.
The Council's name will also be changed to the Duty Free World Council.
