According to Pernod Ricard travel retail witnessed an “improving trend in travel retail Americas” with a “return to growth [and] better performance from duty free across zone, product mix and pricing.”

However, the travel retail division admitted that it battled a ‘difficult environment’ in Asia for Q1 ‘impacted by tough commercial negotiations’. More positively the same division said that Korea duty free appeared to show improvement.

A sales decline for travel retail in Europe was apparently caused by weakness in Eastern Europe; something which the company has been battling for the last few years.
