In our latest Global Pulse Survey we asked consumers, “When travelling for leisure, which of the following experiential services/activities would you be most interested in using at the airport?”   We found that a high proportion of global consumers are interested in relaxation at the airport (49%), followed by entertainment (44%) and that US consumers show the highest interest in entertainment (50% vs 44% globally); Indian consumers show the highest interest in relaxation (56% vs 49% globally), health & wellness (45% vs 37% globally) and productivity (32% vs 24% globally) while Chinese consumers show the highest interest in culture (38% vs 30% globally).

We look at the some of the most interesting experiential fragrance concepts in malls and airports including Maison Margiela, Valentino and Glossier, Inc. https://bit.ly/4g1PKSo

The panel unpicked the opportunities which the industry might be missing and how the airport space and approach to business must evolve in the modern world. Data from Pragma shows that F&B and hospitality are front-of-mind for travelling shoppers, and are identified as key growth opportunities, but is the industry making the most of that?

We found that older consumers (aged 65+) generally prefer familiar restaurants/brands (37% vs 22% globally) while those aged 25-34 show preference towards new restaurants and cuisines (27% vs 19% globally), while the 18-24 year olds show preference towards ethically responsible F&B (16% vs 13% globally). Interestingly, those aged 55-64 show preference towards healthy options (23% vs 17% globally), while the 45-54 year olds show preference towards value for money (23% vs 19% globally).   If you’d like to know more, email us at info@pragmagroup.com
