Asia-Pacific is Global Travel Retail's Growth Engine: TFWA President Sarah Branquinho

Asia-Pacific continues to cement its position as the world's most important travel retail market, accounting for approximately 40% of global travel retail sales and remaining the industry's strongest growth engine. According to Sarah Branquinho , President of the Tax-Free World Association (TFWA), the region's combination of rising middle-class incomes, expanding airport infrastructure and unparalleled levels of intra-regional travel places it at the centre of the industry's future.

Disclosure Day Review: Spielberg Gives Us Too Much Credit

Disclosure Day review: Spielberg pours a lifetime of obsessions into an earnest, overlong sci-fi plea to an indifferent world. A little over halfway through Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt) and Daniel Kellner (Josh O&rsquo;Connor) take refuge from a thrilling chase in a freight car packed with disassembled pianos. Margaret slides into a panic attack, certain the tremors moving through her hands are the first signs of the Parkinson's that took her father and has shadowed her ever since. It&rsquo;s one of the more compelling scenes in the film, and for a moment I was sure that Spielberg was using it to crack the whole film open, that this was a movie functioning as an allegory about aging, memory, and losing control.
