Sunil Tuli, APTRA President: "APTRA is on a mission to support our members and the wider industry through opportunities and through challenging times"
The Asia Pacific Travel Retail Association is set to host the first APTRA East Asia Forum in Hong Kong, December 3-4, 2025.
Sunil Tuli, President of APTRA and Group Chief Executive, King Power Group (Hong Kong), said, “Following the popularity of the APTRA India conference and, in response to requests from several members, it is timely for us to shine the spotlight on the eastern region of Asia Pacific. With significant geo-economic turbulence and trade shifts, it is an especially relevant time to support our members navigate these conditions and understand multiple dynamics, including the evolution of the Chinese consumer, the influence of emerging markets and the fact that tourism figures in the surrounding region are out-pacing retail growth.
“APTRA is on a mission to support our members and the wider industry through opportunities and through challenging times. As an organization spanning over 45 markets, our intention is to continually build on the service we offer across the entire region by sharing insights, research and experience, coupled with valuable networking opportunities.”
The APTRA East Asia Forum will be open to the travel retail industry and further details will be announced in mid-June. In keeping with APTRA’s not-for profit status, tickets for the event will be priced to cover costs.
