The recent lift of restrictions means that travellers entering France are no longer required to present proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test, regardless of their country of origin.

The ‘TFWA Lounge: after-work session’ will take place on Carlton Beach from Monday to Wednesday between 18:30 and 21:00, and in addition to this, a new late night social gathering – ‘TFWA Lounge: night-time session’ – also hosted on Carlton Beach will run on the same days between 23:00 and 02:00.

“Both the scope of brands and quality of visitors that have confirmed their participation at the 2022 TFWA World Exhibition & Conference are a testimony to the business recovery acceleration. Bringing the world’s duty free and travel retail professionals together in person is crucial to drive our industry’s future.
