China Tourism Group Duty Free’s Leadership in Travel Retail Underpins Its Narrow Moat Rating

As China’s largest duty-free and travel retail operator, China Tourism Group Duty Free has a substantial competitive edge because of its leading scale, solid relationship with suppliers, and first-mover advantage in Hainan province's offshore duty-free market. These allow it to become a key beneficiary of growing tourism demand and consumption in China given its attractive product prices, enriched product variety, and extensive store network, which should bode well for the firm's long-term growth outlook.
