The first shop of the collaboration between Dufry and Hainan Development Holdings has opened at the Mova Mall in the city-centre of Hainan’s capital Haikou in China.
The new downtown duty-free shop called Global Duty Free (GDF) Plaza offers customers an attractive selection of internationally renowned brands and local premium labels covering all core categories such as perfume and cosmetics, food and confectionary, wine and spirits and sunglasses. Customers can also enjoy the online reserve and collect service, allowing them to pre-order their favourite products.
The opening of the new Mova Mall duty-free shop represents Dufry’s first involvement in a duty-free operation in Mainland China and is an important entry point in the attractive Hainan market. It is the first one opened in the context of the strategic co-operation agreement signed earlier this year between Dufry and Hainan Development Holdings to develop opportunities in Hainan’s travel retail market.
Julian Diaz, Dufry Group CEO, commented: “We are proud to see the first shop of our collaboration with Hainan Development Holdings now welcoming customers, who enjoy shopping in this attractive environment offering unique experiences.”
