Do you notice the three things that are always in play here? i) High energy ii) Optimism iii) An ability to forecast a successful business model based on the needs of the market. There’s a lot more too. Capital investment, staffing/training, regulatory compliance, marketing…the list goes on, but the successful airline managers always have a similar personality. This really should be a course at every business college in America, just as the psychology of winning is being taught at any good high school football program.

Reflecting on yesterday’s insightful sessions at the IAADFs and 2024 Summit of Americas, I’m invigorated by the vibrant discussions on cruise industry trends and duty-free retail. As a Consumer and Shopping Marketing Expert, it’s fascinating to see the shifts highlighted by the CLIA 2023 report, these are some highlights: • Younger generations are key to the future of cruising; 88% of cruising Millennials intend to do it again. • Cruises are popular for family travel across generations, with 73% of passengers on multi-gen trips. • An uptick in solo travel has cruise lines increasing single cabin offerings. • Cruise itineraries are diversifying to attract new and returning cruisers with various trip lengths. • Cruises are enhancing the journey with more immersive stays, including overnights in ports. It was also great to reconnect with colleagues and industry peers. Events like these are crucial for staying at the forefront of market trends, shaping strategies to elevate brands and enrich the consumer journey. #travelretail #IAADF #cruises #dutyfree #keytrends
