With the ambition to magnify the uniqueness, diversity, and the art of living of the Côte d’Azur, the Nice Côte d’Azur Airport announces the launch of a major tender for its entire retail space.
Spanning an area of 4500m2 across three of its terminals, the airport is opening its doors to potential partners eager to attract a diverse clientele, primarily consisting of CSP+ travelers and a significant international presence.
Traditional segments such as “Duty Free” products, fashion, and local gastronomy will be included. However, the airport encourages the introduction of new concepts focused on children, well-being, and eco-responsibility, thereby reflecting emerging market trends and the values of the region.
Nice Côte d’Azur Airport: The Gateway to the Region
As stated by Candice Cadreils, Director of the Commercial BU of Côte d’Azur Airports: ” The Nice Côte d’Azur Airport aims to be a bridge between the Riviera and the rest of the world. More than a showcase, it serves as a jewel box for brands. As the gateway to a vast region renowned worldwide, the Nice Côte d’Azur Airport has implemented a bold strategy to turn boarding time into a surprising, unforgettable, and unique experience in Europe. This policy earned it the title of “Best Airport Operator in the World” at the 2018 Frontier Awards. “
