The Duty Free World Council is the global voice for the duty- and tax-free Industry.
The industry’s regional associations from around the globe and TFWA, the representative of the brand companies active in the industry, have come together to form the Duty Free World Council (DFWC) to highlight the importance of the duty- and tax-free industry in generating significant levels of employment and in providing vital revenues for the aviation, travel and tourism and maritime sectors. The crucial role our industry plays in the broader travel and tourism sectors and the interdependence of the industry with the aviation and maritime industries has been underlined more than ever in recent years.
Council objectives include increasing awareness and knowledge of the industry, providing support to the industry’s regional associations and developing standards throughout the industry through educational activities.
