There has never been a better time to be involved with the inflight retail and food sector. The Asia-Pacific market is demonstrating consistent growth in passenger numbers and per-capita spending and the region is proving to be the most resistant to the fluctuating markets in the rest of the world. There are several new airlines opening over the next twelve months and the airlines’ approaches to product selection vary enormously as each carrier vies to offer onboard merchandise which accurately reflect their passengers’ desires and aspirations.
ARC specialises in offering delegates the chance to meet with innovative suppliers who are new to the industry, as well as existing product and service providers, in a professional networking environment. In addition to the high-level conference, featuring some of the best speakers in the travel retail industry, ARC delegates enjoy over eight hours of coffee, lunch and social time in the exhibition hall each day, as well as over eleven hours of unparalleled networking events.
There are many ways to become involved with ARC, and to support this thriving sector. From gift-bag product placement to full Event Partnership, we have a wide range of sponsorship options for every budget, and to enable the very best promotion for your product or service.

“ARC was a fantastic platform for us to establish first contacts in the Duty Free and Travel Retail Market, which meanwhile have developed into a co-operation with Dufry. This is a real milestone in the distribution of our product and would not have been possible without the ARC trade fair.”
