The APTRA North Asia Forum will take place on 12 November 2026 at the Hopewell Hotel in Hong Kong.

We are extremely grateful to the Airport Authority Hong Kong and Hong Kong International Airport for their support as Platinum Host Partners. In addition, we are pleased to welcome King Power Group Hong Kong as a Gold Partner.

Consumer insights from the region will be a key focus during the conference sessions, with presentations from Research Partners m1nd-set and China Trading Desk. Delegates will also benefit from landlord, retailer and category perspectives on the opportunities and challenges in key markets in the region, including Hong Kong, China, Japan and Korea.

Sunil Tuli, APTRA President and Group Chief Executive, King Power Group (Hong Kong) comments, “North Asia is one of the most complex travel retail regions in the world right now, and that’s exactly why we’re bringing the APTRA North Asia Forum to Hong Kong.  Hong Kong International Airport has just delivered its fastest passenger recovery since 2022, and mainland Chinese travelers are moving again in huge numbers, yet Korea’s duty free sector has fallen to levels last seen a decade ago, and Japan is navigating its own headwinds. Understanding those diverging realities, market by market, is essential if our industry is to capture the opportunity in front of it.”

Alby Tsang, Director of Retail and Property Development at Hong Kong International Airport, adds, “We are delighted to partner with APTRA in hosting the North Asia Forum. At Hong Kong International Airport, we are committed to innovating concepts and experiences to meet the evolving expectations of global passengers. The Forum provides an invaluable platform for industry leaders to discuss retail innovation, passenger engagement and sector challenges brought by evolving market conditions. We look forward to engaging with other industry participants to share perspectives on travel retail’s future development.”

The event format runs from 2-10pm.  The format is an afternoon conference followed by cocktails and canapés. Tickets are limited and on sale now @USD150 per person and can be booked on the registration site : Click here to Register
