NEXUS:
ASUTIL CONFERENCE 2025
ASUTIL 2025: Nexus symbolizes the convergence of innovation, opportunity, and collaboration in duty-free and travel retail.

With expanded duty-free stores and new travel retail ventures, Lima is poised to become a key hub for the industry, making it the ideal setting to explore its future.
