Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA) has launched tenders for two anchor retail licences of liquor and tobacco concession and, perfume & cosmetics and fashion accessories concession in Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
Over the past years, the AA has been conducting intensive consumer research to understand passenger needs in regard to the anchor travel retail concessions. The AA recognises the changing shopping behaviour of the travellers, and hence plans to use the tender opportunity to modify the retail spaces and concession mix in an effort to enhance customer shopping experience and excitement.
Cissy Chan, Executive Director, Commercial of the AA said, “As a world-class international and regional aviation hub for around 70 million passengers a year, it is critical that HKIA continues to offer a variety of attractive shopping choices for our diverse range of travellers. We will leverage this tender opportunity to take HKIA shopping excitement and relevance to the next level.”
Under the two concessions, new product categories and activities will be introduced. The increase in total floor area will also further enhance flexibility, experimentation, product uniqueness and excitement to passengers.
The tender is open to all travel retailers, and interested parties can visit https://www.hongkongairport.com/eng/business/airport-authority/business-opportunities/1477621132870.html?invitation-to-tender for more details. Both tenders will close on 2 February, 2017 at 2:30pm and the selected retail partners will be announced in the second quarter of 2017.
