The global directory behind travel retail.
Brands and retailers set the vision. Service providers make it happen. TRI maps the entire travel retail ecosystem with a dedicated focus on service providers, so new and established brands can find, compare and activate the partners they need to grow.
A win for newcomers. A win for leaders. A win for suppliers.
Travel retail is built on relationships.
Behind every brand and retailer are the agencies, consultants, logistics providers, research firms, PR specialists and legal experts that make it all work. Until now, finding them meant trade show corridors, chance introductions and months of searching.
Finding the right partner shouldn't depend on who you already know.
Every specialist you need to launch and grow, in one place.
TRI is a curated, verified directory of the service providers behind travel retail, organised by what they actually do.

What sets TRI apart.
Service providers come first
Built around the specialist agencies and consultants who keep travel retail running.
Verified, not merely listed
Every entry is reviewed and categorised before it appears.
Built from lived experience
Shaped by someone who once needed this platform and could not find it.
“The next person entering travel retail should not have to spend months finding an ecosystem that already exists.”
Mirabela Lauterbach pioneered travel retail distribution for Micro scooters from Switzerland and Bellapierre Cosmetics from the USA. As a one-person travel retail department, she sourced every distributor, supplier and specialist partner by hand. TRI is the platform she wished had existed.
