Global travel retail has changed, especially at airports. Passengers are more informed than ever, have more purchasing options and expect comprehensive services. They make approximately 70 percent of their buying decisions in advance; only 30 percent are impulse purchases. At the same time, the number of passengers is growing – with customer engagement and conversion taking a sharp downturn.
Airports must therefore digitalize their business model, or run the risk of losing control over their retail business and competitive advantage. By creating a digital marketplace, airports can offer their customers personalized products and services, thus optimizing the customer travel experience.
In the video interview series about the future of airports and travel retail, Peter Mohn (CEO m1ndset) and Kian Gould (Founder and CEO of AOE) discuss how consumer behavior changes in the travel industry and how airports and the travel retail industry can benefit from digitalization.
