¡Estamos de vuelta!

Este blog nació para seguir las noticias más interesantes en el mundo del «mercado de viajeros” – travel retail – que se desarrolla en los aeropuertos, fronteras, zonas de baja fiscalidad, cruceros, etc,.., allá dónde un viajero tenga oportunidad de comprar o consumir productos. Por ello, también procuraremos traer noticias sobre los operadores de restauración – food & beverages – aunque limitadas a actividades de aeropuertos. Progresivamente nos iremos ocupando de otros ingresos non aviation de los operadores aeroportuarios dónde existe cabida para muchas empresas.
Es nuestro interés traer noticias de dos aspectos que tienen que ver mucho con el travel retail: de un lado, los procesos de privatizaciones – en sus distintas fórmulas – sobre aeropuertos, de otro, sobre nuevos desarrollos digitales que facilitan el proceso de compra, o los servicios, en estos canales.
We’re back!
This blog was born to follow the most interesting news in the world of the «travel retail market» which takes place in airports, borders, low-tax areas, cruises, etc., wherever a traveler has the opportunity to buy or consume products. Therefore, we will also try to bring news about food & beverages operators although limited to airport activities. Progressively we will be reporting other non-aviation revenues from airport operators that are opportunities for companies of any size.
We are interested in providing news on two aspects that have a great deal to do with travel retail: on the one hand, the privatization processes – in their different formulas – on airports, on the other hand, on new digital developments that facilitate the purchase process, or services, in these channels.
