陳國(guó)強在“三一論壇”首日應邀發(fā)表了主題演講，并在次日接受了《穆迪達維特免稅報告》創始人兼主席Martin Moodie頒發(fā)的“三一論壇”獎。在緻頒獎詞時(shí)，Martin Moodie講述了陳國(guó)強在業界深耕35年間對(duì)旅遊零售業發(fā)展所作出的巨大貢獻，并將(jiāng)其效力的中免集團譽爲新冠疫情時(shí)期旅遊零售業的“燈塔”。
Moodie told guests of Charles Chen’s immense contribution to China’s travel retail industry during a career that has spanned three and a half decades. He described China Duty Free Group as “a beacon of light” to the travel retail community through the pandemic when the rest of the industry globally had been plunged into darkness.
Martin Moodie評價道(dào)，2010年時(shí)，中免集團在旅遊零售運營商排行榜中名列第19位，而今已成(chéng)行業第一并持續保持著(zhe)業内龍頭地位。自2016年擔任領導職位以來，陳國(guó)強帶領中免集團達到了一個新高度。
China Duty Free Group had risen from number 19 in the global travel retail rankings in 2010 to number one a decade later, Moodie said, a leadership position it has subsequently strengthened. Since assuming his leadership role in 2016, Charles Chen had driven China Duty Free Group to extraordinary new heights, Moodie added.
“他是一位出類拔萃的領導者。上周五中免集團迎來了又一高光時(shí)刻——cdf海口國(guó)際免稅城的驚豔開(kāi)業，它擁有世界上最大的免稅零售業務，且購物環境詩意浪漫。”
“Charles Chen has led China Duty Free Group with vision, determination, charisma, warmth and humanity. He is an outstanding individual,” Moodie said. “What a story it has been. And China Duty Free Group enjoyed a fantastic new high last Friday with the opening of the cdf Haikou International Duty Free Shopping complex, which includes the world’s biggest duty free duty fee retail operation – not just big but also beautiful.”
陳國(guó)強在領獎時(shí)向(xiàng)所有合作夥伴表示感謝并稱中免集團將(jiāng)進(jìn)一步加深與合作夥伴之間的交流協作。此外，他熱情邀請合作夥伴親自探訪海口國(guó)際免稅城及中免集團其他業務。
Chen was greeted with a standing ovation as he came to the stage to accept the award from Moodie. In a heartfelt speech, he thanked his business partners for all their support during his career and especially during recent years in helping to propel China Duty Free Group into the number one ranking industry player. He vowed that China Duty Free Group would continue to grow and to collaborate closely with its business partners. He invited members of the audience to visit China and to discover for themselves the new store in Haikou and other aspects of the China Duty Free Group business.
“非常感謝授予我這(zhè)個獎項。”陳國(guó)強說(shuō)，“這(zhè)不僅是對(duì)我的肯定，同時(shí)也是對(duì)中免集團近幾年來銳意進(jìn)取的肯定。這(zhè)對(duì)我們來說(shuō)意義重大。”
“Thank you very much for this award,” he said. “This is not only an acknowledgment for my work, but also the recognition of CDFG’s achievements in recent years. It really means a lot to me and to the company.”
依托母公司中國(guó)旅遊集團豐富的産業鏈資源優勢，中免集團在未來將(jiāng)持續踐行“誠信經(jīng)營、優質服務”文化理念，聚焦消費者多元化需求，以開(kāi)放交流、合作創新的态度進(jìn)一步加大與品牌方、合作夥伴的溝通與協作，助推中國(guó)旅遊零售市場持續繁榮發(fā)展。
此次“三一論壇”于2022 年 11 月 1 日至 2 日在新加坡舉行，由全球旅遊零售和免稅行業權威媒體《穆迪達維特免稅報告》、國(guó)際機場協會(huì)（ACI World）和國(guó)際機場協會(huì)亞太區分會(huì)（ACI Asia Pacific）共同組織舉辦，樟宜機場集團承辦。該活動由《穆迪達維特免稅報告》于 2003 年創建，旨在促進(jìn)全球機場運營方、旅遊零售商和品牌商的交流合作。
