The Airport Health-Centred Offer of the Year category reflects how actors in our sector are responding to the changed demands of travellers in the modern world.

It generated a deserved winner in 80 Acres Farms that places a powerful emphasis on healthy, sustainable products and delivering on, not just paying lip service to, the ethos of health and wellbeing. It also won the regional award for the Americas & Caribbean, telling “a compelling story about quality and regionality”.

Lagardère Travel Retail’s Natoo concept in Hamburg is a health-focused to-go offer that indicates its fresh, healthy credentials through design, menu and display in-store. This was a superb entry that lives up to its claim of being ‘Healthy all the way’, said the judges.

Among two Highly Commendeds, the first was La Place by Areas. This is a well-executed concept across airports by a player that intimately understands its audiences, with an impressive focus on sustainability from product sourcing to plate.

The second Highly Commended – Plum Market by Avolta at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport – is a well-considered, well-thought-through concept that offers breadth of choice to health-conscious consumers and/or those with dietary concerns/needs.
