Print Article E-Mail Article

For the first time in its 17-year history, Tax Free World Association has agreed to register the yachts moored alongside the quay at the Palais des Festivals as official exhibitors at the TFWA World Exhibition. This year six luxury yachts will be under charter to major brands. They will be recognised as full participants and listed in the exhibition guide.

TFWA ceo, Andrew Ford, commented: "The trade has embraced this global forum so enthusiastically that space inside the Palais exhibition halls is in great demand. By extending our exhibition space to include these yachts in the 'Harbour Village' we have satisfied some of those demands."

The boats will be operated by fragrance companies Hescanas and Zylangia, Sisley cosmetics, Guinness UDV, and Greek tobacco brands Karelia and Papastratos.
