\nThe opening marks another milestone in the expansion of Pernod Ricard\u2019s presence in Hainan following the opening of the first Martell boutique in duty free at CDFG Haitang Bay early 2021.

Alongside the full Martell range, the number one Cognac in the Prestige category in both volume and value (IWSR 2020), the boutique\u2019s offering includes Ballantine\u2019s, Chivas Regal and Royal Salute scotch whiskies, as well as Malts from The Glenlivet and Secret Speyside ranges. Travellers can also purchase rare whiskies including the exceptional Royal Salute 52 year-old and The Glenlivet 50 year-old, and choose from the full Caperdonich range, introduced to China\u2019s duty free market for the very first time.<\/p>\n

True to the Group\u2019s \u2018Good Times From a Good Place\u2019 commitments, the store combines innovation and sustainability. PR GTR\u2019s approach to instore digitalisation with digital merchandising units reduces carbon emissions thanks to total modularisation \u2013 preventing the need to remove and replace merchandising units or POS materials and instead, allowing for real time in-store digital updates.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the opening, Liya Zhang, VP Marketing, PR GTR said: \u201cThis boutique represents a milestone for Pernod Ricard and our growth in global travel retail. It is not only our first portfolio boutique in duty free, but also another opportunity for us to bring our vision of the future of retail to shoppers \u2013 retail theatre powered by digital, immersing travellers in every aspect of the shopping experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Simon Van Moppes, North Asia General Manager, PR GTR addresses the importance of Hainan for the brand: \u201cIf we go back a year and a half, wines and spirits were not being sold duty free in Hainan. We’ve had a unique opportunity to start from scratch in a new location with a fantastic set of mature shoppers and consumers. Our surveys show that 70% of Chinese travellers expect more exciting features and digital services from their retail experiences, so this environment has provided the opportunity for us to accelerate our market introduction and retail innovation plans, including the unveiling of our first duty free portfolio boutique with Shenzhen Duty Free at Mission Hills.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jiangwei You, Chairman of SZDF Group reflected: \u201cAs part of our long-standing partnership and first-time collaboration with Pernod Ricard GTR we are excited to bring a digital shopping experience to consumers. We are incredibly proud to house the first portfolio boutique in our Mission Hills Resort and are very confident in the success of the store.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
