Lagard\u00e8re Travel Retail celebrates the official opening of its commercial operations at Techo International Airport, Cambodia\u2019s new aviation gateway, inaugurated yesterday in the presence of H.E. Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, senior government officials, and airport partners. This opening introduces Lagard\u00e8re Travel Retail\u2019s full service retail and dining offer to Techo International Airport, supporting Cambodia\u2019s growing aviation and tourism sector while providing passengers with a high-quality, locally inspired retail and dining experience.<\/p>\n


\nTecho International Airport is Cambodia\u2019s largest aviation infrastructure project and one of the world\u2019s biggest airports by land area. Located near Phnom Penh, it serves as a national and regional hub, with an initial capacity of 13 million passengers per year, set to expand to 30 million. Designed by Foster + Partners, the terminal blends Khmer-inspired aesthetics with modern sustainability features.<\/p>\n

Lagard\u00e8re Travel Retail has tailored its store designs and retail concepts to complement the terminal and to reflect Cambodian culture and heritage, integrating local materials, patterns, and products throughout the passenger journey.<\/p>\n

In partnership with HSC Group, Lagard\u00e8re Travel Retail signed a long-term contract with Cambodia Airport Investment Company (CAIC) to manage the airport\u2019s entire commercial offer across three business lines \u2013 Duty Free & Fashion, Travel Essentials, and Dining. This marks the first time the company operates all three lines in a new airport in Asia.<\/p>\n

Over a total footprint of 3,629m\u00b2, Lagard\u00e8re Travel Retail operates 17 stores and 1 restaurant, spread across landside and airside areas of the terminal:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The duty-free offering comprises 9 outlets: 8 located in the departures area and 1 in arrivals.
\n\u2022 The Fashion portfolio includes 2 curated multi-brand concepts \u2014 The Gallery and Eye Love \u2014 alongside a dedicated APM Monaco boutique.
\n\u2022 In Dining, travellers can enjoy a refined experience at the airside March\u00e9 restaurant.
\n\u2022 The Travel Essentials segment, operated by our franchise partner Monument Book, features 4 RELAY stores and a Discover Cambodia shop.<\/p>\n
