This is the first time that Louis Royer has attended CTR and as part of their Diamond Sponsorship, it will take a large, prominent exhibition stand, where it will specifically showcase the world famous multi gold award-winning range of Louis Royer premium Cognacs, particularly favoured in the China domestic and duty-free markets.

胡润百富正式成为中国旅游零售大会中华区战略媒体合作伙伴, 将一同出席于2013年5月8日至9日 中国三亚举行的第二届中国旅游零售大会
The Hurun Report named Strategic Media Partner in China for China Travel Retail conference, taking place in Sanya 8 & 9 May 2013

  2013年4月19日, 伦敦/三亚。2013中国旅游零售大会（CTR2013）, 专为中国机场业, 海港业, 航空业和邮轮业设计, 旨在为行业买卖双方服务的领先创新性平台, 其举办方今日宣布, 胡润百富, 领先的奢华品出版商及会议举办集团 （包括众多杂志读物和一支针对中国高收入人群而设计的活动策划团队）, 将成为第二届中国旅游零售报告的战略媒体合作伙伴, 该大会将于2013年5月8日至9日于中国三亚希尔顿大酒店及水疗中心举行。
London / Sanya, 19th April 2013. Today, the organisers of China Travel Retail 2013 (CTR2013), the leading networking platform for buyers and suppliers operating in the airport, seaport, airline and cruise industries in China, have announced that The Hurun Report, the leading luxury publishing and events group (comprising magazines and an active events team targeted at China’s high net worth individuals), will be the strategic media partner in China for the second annual event taking place at the Hilton Sanya Resort & Spa on 8th and 9th May, 2013.

继2012年大会于上海的成功鼎力支持, 本次所有与会代表将收到最新的《胡润百富》杂志。同时, Sinclair Lu先生, 胡润百富总裁兼集团出版人主席及报告出版商, 将会与本次大会会议探讨”奢侈品领域”部分做精彩演讲, 他将公布关于中国超级富豪的消费习惯的最新研究报告, 同时也将公布品牌名单, 罗列目前中国一线二线城市中蓬勃发展的各大品牌。
In similar vein to their successful support of the inaugural event that took place in Shanghai last year, each delegate at the event will receive a copy of the latest edition of The Hurun Report in their delegate pack and Sinclair Lu, President and Group Publisher of The Hurun Report will speak in the ‘Luxury’ segment of the conference, delivering an exciting presentation on the latest research into the shopping habits of the Chinese super?rich, including information on which brands are currently thriving in first? and second?tier cities.

“继去年大会的成功举办, 我们很荣幸可以继续作为第二届中国旅游零售大会的中华区战略媒体合作伙伴, ” Rupert Hoogewerf, 胡润百富董事长兼首席调研员表示。 “在过去的一年, 中国旅游零售市场已经取得显著发展, 并日渐成熟。 虽然对奢侈品的需求仍然很高, 但富裕的中国消费者已经变得越来越复杂, 并提高了对这些品牌的产品意识。 这在很大程度上是由于中国游客人数的逐年增加, 以及海南日渐成为一个免税购物天堂的缘故。 我们期待着在中国旅游零售大会中与品牌商和零售商一同探讨需面临的挑战。”
“After the success of last year’s event we are delighted to be the strategic media partner in China at the China Travel Retail event for the second year,” said Rupert Hoogewerf, Chairman and Chief Researcher of The Hurun Report. “In the last year, the Chinese market has seen phenomenal growth, as it not only evolves but matures. Whilst the demand for luxury branded goods has remained high, wealthy Chinese consumers have become increasingly sophisticated and aware of the products that are available to them. Much of this is due to the increased numbers of Chinese travellers, and with the growth in popularity of Hainan as a Duty Free shopping haven. We are looking forward to exploring all of this and the related challenges that brands and retailers face in China at CTR.”

中国旅游零售大会受到来自中国机场公司和零售运营商的异常欢迎。去年大会的参会代表有超过70％来自中国境内, 他们共同探讨行业内各中心课题。同时, 本大会也热烈欢迎国际品牌商的积极参与。
The conference is particularly popular with PRC airports and retail operators, with over 70% of delegates at last year’s event attending from mainland China, to discuss key issues and meet international brands, who are also welcome to attend.

“我们极其荣幸胡润百富能够连续第二年支持中国旅游零售大会。胡润百富就是中国奢侈品零售市场的代名词, ” Alex Vail, 2013中国旅游零售大会活动总监表示。 “了解中国消费者以及他们对奢侈品的需求, 是品牌商和零售商能够取得境内外中国旅客青睐和成功的关键。 我们期待着像去年一样从胡润百富报告中了解学习到更多讯息, 并有信心, 我们与胡润百富的合作关系可以持续更多年。”
“We are delighted that The Hurun Report who are synonymous with the Chinese luxury retail market, is supporting China Travel Retail for the second year,” said Alex Vail, Event Director for CTR13. “Understanding the Chinese consumer and their demand for luxury branded goods is absolutely key to the success of many brands and retailers looking to target Chinese travellers both inside and outside of China. We are looking forward to learning more from The Hurun Report and following on from the last year’s event, we are confident that the successful relationship with The Hurun Report will continue for many more years.”

继2012年第一届大会大成功举行, 今年的本届大会将于三亚度假村希尔顿酒店和水疗中心举行, 届时中国旅游零售市场最有影响力的决策者、领先的机场公司、免税运营商、航空公司代表和众多世界著名品牌商将齐聚于此。

“Yet again CTR is shaping up to be an excellent show and we are delighted to have Martin Moodie at the helm again.” said Alex Vail, CTR Event Director. “Last year in Shanghai we addressed some of the biggest issues affecting Western companies looking to expand into the Chinese market as well as the challenges facing airport and retail operators across China. This year’s event in Sanya, the most exciting duty free location in China right now, looks even stronger and will undoubtedly help to define the future of the industry in such a vibrant market.”

 超过190为代表出席了2012年中国旅游零售大会， 2013年中国旅游零售大会将进一步扩增，主办方预计将有超过200名代表参与。中国旅游零售大会深受国内机场和零售运营商的欢迎，去年的大会中，超过70％的代表来自中国境内以探讨行业内的棘手问题。同时，我们也非常欢迎海外品牌加入本大会。

Over 190 delegates attended CTR2012, and the organisers expect to increase the size for the 2013 event, with over 200 delegates expected. The conference is particularly popular with airports and retail operators in PRC, with over 70% of delegates from mainland China attending last year’s event to discuss key issues and meet international brands, who are also welcome to attend.

Alex Vail继续表示，“去年的大会反馈是令人惊喜的，这让我们更进一步了解参会代表的需求，以及他们所需要面对的这一蓬勃发展的中国旅游零售行业所面临的巨大挑战。面对中国市场的发展迅速（70个新机场正在建设之中，同时，4万公里的高速通道也在构建之中），本大会的议程以确立将解决行业人员的迫切需要，提供行业存在问题的独特见解，并提供最佳的解决方案。我们期待着能够继续帮助中国和西方品牌、机场、零售运营商可以在不断扩大的中国旅游零售市场上，持续取得巨大的成功”。

 Vail continued, “Feedback from last year’s event was fantastic, enabling us to look more deeply into the needs of our delegates and the challenges they face in the burgeoning travel retail industry in China. The agenda we have created will address the urgent need for insight and best practice in a country which is rapidly building 70 new airports and creating a 40,000km high-speed railway network. We look forward to continuing to help Chinese and Western brands, airport and retail operators navigate their way to lasting success in the ever expanding Chinese Travel Retail market.”

于三亚举行的中国旅游零售大会将持续两天，期间将会举办超过10小时的商业座谈活动，以及一对一的单独洽谈活动，该活动深受去年大会代表、机场人员和免税购买方的欢迎。此外，大会第一天当晚将举办社交晚宴，在三亚海滩度假胜地的迷人风光下，在一个非正式及舒适的环境下，大会所有代表、赞助商代表和演讲嘉宾将共同出席，共享令人愉悦的晚间活动。

The China Travel Retail Event in Sanya will involve a two-day conference, over 10 hours of networking events and one-to-one speed networking meetings, which were very well received by both the delegates and the airport and duty-free buyers in Shanghai last year. In addition, there will be a networking dinner on the first night where all the delegates, sponsors and speakers will be able to spend time together in an informal and relaxed environment in this stunning beach resort.
