Bringing a World of Beauty to the Global Traveler
Travel Retail, one of The Estée Lauder Companies' highest growth channels, covers the world of duty-free environments including airports, airlines, cruises, downtown locations and border shops. According to industry projections, more than 3 billion international travelers pass through airports each year, and that number is expected to grow 5% annually.
Travel Retail is an exciting channel for consumers to discover and experience our brands while indulging in new and exclusive products and experiences they won’t find anywhere else. We are an integral part of the consumer’s travel journey - pushing the boundaries of the retail experience so travelers make unforgettable memories with our brands.

Fostering an Inclusive, Diverse and Equitable Culture Within TR
The Estée Lauder Companies’ (ELC) collective vision is to be the most inclusive and diverse beauty company in the world. Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (ID&E) is at the forefront of everything we do in Travel Retail. In 2020, we created an ID&E cohort, guided by three pillars: Talent, Culture and Partnership. In November 2021, we announced a new talent and development program in partnership with Florida A&M University (FAMU) to build the next generation of Black beauty leaders in Travel Retail in line with the company’s commitments to Racial Equity announced in June 2020.
