WTDC is proud to announce it has been selected as a finalist in the 2025 Frontier Awards, recognizing outstanding achievement in the global travel retail industry. The Frontier Awards are held annually at the prestigious TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes, France—widely regarded as the leading event shaping the future of travel retail.
For over 45 years, WTDC has been synonymous with excellence in logistics and supply chain management tailored specifically to duty-free and travel retail sectors. This finalist recognition highlights WTDC’s ongoing commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and partnerships that drive growth for duty-free operators, travel retail brands, and global distributors.
The Frontier Awards celebrate the visionary leaders, companies, and teams who are expanding possibilities and redefining retail experiences in an ever-evolving marketplace. This year’s event, themed “Explore New Horizons,” brings prominence to innovative approaches addressing macroeconomic challenges, shifting consumer behaviors, and the pursuit of new opportunities in the global travel retail landscape.
By being named a finalist, WTDC joins an elite group of companies who have demonstrated industry leadership through groundbreaking logistics solutions, superior customer service, and strategic agility. The award judges evaluated nominees based on their operational performance, impact on customer satisfaction, innovation, and their ability to navigate the complex demands of international trade and travel retail.
WTDC’s strategic position near major gateways like Miami International Airport, PortMiami, and Port Everglades enables unparalleled speed and compliance in transporting high-value inventory such as spirits, cosmetics, electronics, and tobacco products. WTDC’s expertise extends to Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) operations, bonded warehousing, customs brokerage, and tailored inventory management systems enabling clients to optimize duty deferral and maximize cash flow.
This recognition is also a testament to the leadership of WTDC’s President and CEO, Sean P. Gazitua, the third generation of the family to lead the company since its founding in 1977. Under his stewardship, WTDC has expanded its service offerings and embrace new technologies to remain at the forefront of the logistics industry.
The Frontier Awards ceremony—held at the elegant Palm Beach venue during TFWA’s conference—provides a crucial networking platform for over 600 influential travel retail professionals worldwide. It is a celebration of innovation, resilience, and the collaborative spirit propelling the sector.
Winning this award would further affirm WTDC’s role as a cornerstone in the travel retail supply chain and highlight its dedication to delivering tailored, efficient, and compliant logistics solutions. Regardless of the final outcome, WTDC is honored to be recognized among the sector’s most dynamic and forward-thinking companies.
Looking ahead, WTDC will continue leveraging its expertise to support duty-free and travel retail clients navigating the challenges of global trade, evolving regulatory environments, and consumer expectations. With a commitment to continuous improvement, WTDC is poised to help partners explore new horizons and seize emerging opportunities.
