How travel retail companies can gain access to reliable airport traffic data in volatile circumstances

REQUEST A DEMO

A new reality for travel retail

The ability to forecast airport traffic is key to a travel retail company’s decision making and planning. However, the pandemic has disrupted usual patterns and trends, creating a volatile environment in which forecasts are extremely difficult to establish.

Against this background, how do retailers determine when to reopen their stores? And when their primary markets are unable to travel, how do they know which audiences to shift their focus to?

Forecasting airport traffic in the absence of reliable trends

ForwardKeys provides reliable, real-time data on the global flow of passengers by nationality, origin airport, destination, and more, allowing travel retail companies to ascertain which kinds of travellers will be passing through their stores at a given time – and in what numbers.

As a result, duty-free operators and airport retailers can identify potential shoppers, optimise staffing and product/sample selection accordingly, and determine where to open new stores based on the distribution of airport traffic.
