SUMMARY:Join us at the WiTR networking event at TFWA in Cannes – Tuesday October 4th 1730 – 1900!
DESCRIPTION:It’s fast approaching the time when many of us will converge on Cannes for the TFWA World Conference and Exhibition.  \nIt’s also time for Women inTravel Retail to meet at its biggest annual networking event.  This is the place to be to meet old friends\, make new friends and to chat with women at all stages of their careers across the broad spectrum of travel retail from cruise lines to airports\, from brands to retailers\, our media friends and many more. \nThis year we return to our usual venue in the foyer of the Palais des Festivals – but with a slightly different focus. \nOn arrival you will be welcomed with a glass of delicious Chandon Garden Spritz courtesy of Moet Hennessy to start off what we hope will be an enjoyable networking session where you will also hear about WiTR’s 2022 charity – the Hope Foundation.  \nSince 1999\, the Hope Foundation has been committed to ensuring the protection of children living on the streets and in the slums of Kolkata (India).  WiTR is specifically raising funds to buy a bus to safely transport women and children from HOPE’s five homes in the city housing 100 children\, and a Mother and Childcare unit.  Costing in the region of €15\,000\, the bus will replace the currently used vehicle which is 15 years old and needs to be replaced to comply with Government environmental guidelines to allow it to operate in the city. \nThis video illustrates the need far more eloquently than I can…. \nhttps://youtu.be/QnuNRMhpboI \nThis year\, instead of the past raffle format\, participants will be invited to contribute €20 and a business card to be entered into a draw for three prizes which will take place around 1830. Please bring cash!  We are a small charity and we can’t accept online payments!!! \n \nWe would also be very grateful for any corporate or individual donations; please contact Gerry Munday\, Vice Chair of WiTR at gerrymunday2811@gmail.com \nAbove all\, this is your event.  We look forward to welcoming you! \n \nFrom the WiTR team: \nSarah Branquinho (Chair)\, Gerry Munday (Vice chair)\, Caroline Buisson\, Myriem Chalabi\, Sinead El-Sibai\, Amanda Felix\, Lucy Hillyard\, Rowena Holland\, Mona Lebrasseur\, Erin Lillis\, Chandra Mahtani\, Lois Pasternak\, Nina Semprecht\, Joanne Willey \n \nWomen in Travel (WiTR) was created in 2006 to recognise the contribution of women to the travel retail industry\, past\, present and future and as a forum for the women in the travel retail industry. It allows us a privileged medium to exchange ideas\, and just as importantly to support people in need who we believe would benefit from our help. From year to year we help different groups or communities (from Haiti to India to Sichuan) to help themselves\, with a strong focus on children.

SUMMARY:WiTR organizes workshop for Summit of the Americas that looks at the Future of Work
DESCRIPTION:The IAADFS (International Association of Airport & Duty Free Stores) invited WiTR to be one of the content providers at the conference sessions during the 2022 Summit of the Americas\, by organizing a workshop session that would have broad and relevant appeal. \nThe session\, entitled Are you ready for the future of work? featured Noella Vincent\, a well-known executive coach based in Miami\, who discussed some of the biggest trends happening in the workforce today – from the impact of technology to the social function of work and human productivity – all of which have been accelerating under COVID. \nVincent was joined by Jackie McDonagh\, General Manager and Director of ARI North America\, who discussed the changes that have taken place in ARI’s Canadian stores over the course of the pandemic\, and which changes she expects will continue into the future\, and Patricia Bona\, Vice President of beauty distribution company Essence Corp\, who approached the topic from a Human Resources perspective\, and talked about some of the hidden challenges within the new work trends. Travel Markets Insider Editor & Publisher Lois Pasternak moderated the session. \nApropos for the audience\, Vincent divided her talk into five “borders” to introduce ways one can pro-actively face the new workplace reality\, and these borders provided a framework for the discussion. \nThe WiTR program was the last one on Day One of the Summit\, and was attended by a surprisingly large audience. It was quite dynamic with the four of us holding a give-and-take discussion. In a very satisfying result\, it seems to have generated quite a bit of discussion afterwards\, with several audience members coming up throughout the next two days to say how relevant and valuable they found it. The session also received high praise from IAADFS’ Michael Payne and Rene Riedi\, who is Chairman of IAADFS. \nIn our introduction\, we explained that the session topic was an outgrowth of the WiTR webinars that began running during the pandemic.

SUMMARY:WiTR Breakfast Meeting in Dubai
DESCRIPTION:To kick start the return of in-person meetings\, a mini- WiTR breakfast meeting was arranged last week at the newly opened Vida Creek Harbour Hotel in Dubai\, which was attended by several WiTR members. The breakfast coincided with the visit by UK-based Jennifer Dixon\, VP – HR\, Pernod Ricard who was joined by her colleague Neha Jabber\, Marketing Manager – Gulf & India. With Jennifer in attendance\, along with Mona Al Ali\, SVP – HR\, Dubai Duty Free\, the discussion inevitably turned to HR issues for women in general and those in the industry in particular. Topics discussed included the challenges of Emiratization\, maternity benefits and the need for a reintroduction into the workforce for new mums\, as well as recent corporate directives that put women at the centre. \nCommenting on the morning\, Sinead El Sibai\, SVP-Marketing at Dubai Duty Free and WiTR Middle East representative said :”It was great to have an in-person gathering again after such a long period of time. The meeting was triggered by the visit by Jennifer from Pernod Ricard who wanted to meet up with some women in senior positions in the region and to get some insights into their working lives. I certainly learnt a lot by the lively discussions that entailed and am keen to keep the conversation going.” \nThe WiTR breakfast was hosted by Pernod Ricard. “Thanks to Pernod Ricard for giving us the impetus to meet in person again and In the coming weeks I will be reaching out to the regional database and will plan a series of further gatherings for WiTR members\,” added Sinead. \nPictured at the breakfast from left to right: Leila Ben Kacem\, Customer Marketing Manager – Middle East and Asia/Pacific\, Mondelez\, Sharon Beecham\, SVP – Purchasing\, DDF\, Mona Al Ali\, SVP – HR\, DDF\, Jennifer Dixon\, VP – HR\, Pernod-Ricard\, Carla Lewis\, Area Sales Manager GCC\, JTI\, Sinead El Sibai\, SVP – Marketing\, DDF and Neha Jabber\, Marketing Manager – Gulf & India\, Pernod Ricard

SUMMARY:Ethos Farm Visit – Tudor Dynasty
DESCRIPTION:On April 5th WiTR members braved some inclement weather to visit Hampton Court Palace\, courtesy of Ethos Farm\, and learn more about the Tudor dynasty and it’s (in)famous king – Henry VIII.  The Palace had been transformed from a country house to a magnificent palace by Henry’s Lord Chancellor\, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. \nThe stunning Ethos Farm premises is just outside the Palace Walls.  We met there and enjoyed a convivial glass of bubbly and a light lunch while Josie Barton\, co-founder of Ethos Farm along with Sally Alington\, regaled us with the history of the Palace\, and the story of Henry VIII and his six wives.  This was no simple story-telling.  Josie is passionate about history\, and in particular with Tudor dynasty\, and we were blown away by her talk\, illustrated with beautiful artwork images from the era.  Her ability to entrance us partly explains Ethos Farm’s success in telling brand and customer stories\, and we concluded that Josie has a future career presenting documentaries on TV! \nInspired by Josie\, we set off for the Palace\, visiting the vast kitchens where state banquets were prepared as well as fare for the hundreds of staff who worked at the Palace\, followed by the State Apartments before leaving trough the magnificent gardens.  We didn’t have time to explore fully the Georgian part of the palace but all felt that we would want to return to explore further – perhaps on a less blustery day! \nA huge thank you to our Ethos Farm friends and hosts!
