It marks the first time the Swiss retailer has topped the list since 2019, as it surpasses China Duty Free Group to take first place.

Gen Z is the fastest growing consumer group, and they highly value D&I, convenience, and high quality items. ⇨ Travellers desire a pleasant atmosphere to shop and kill time in, particularly impulse buyers who are encouraged to enter by strong store activations. Purchases are influenced up to 80% based on the type of interaction had with store staff.
