As regulations tighten and economic pressures mount, the duty free and travel retail industry is coming under increased scrutiny. With policy shifts and evolving government priorities ahead of the MOP4 negotiations, the need for a unified, forward-looking response has never been more pressing. In this session, MEADFA Advocacy Committee Chair Nuno Amaral alongside DFWC President Sarah Branquinho and COMESA Business Council CEO Teddy Soobramanien, will discuss how advocacy efforts are adapting to meet today’s challenges. Moderated by John Rimmer, the panel will explore how the industry can amplify its voice, deepen collaboration, and shape a regulatory environment that supports the industry’s long-term growth.
