NewsLink®, a Miami-based airport travel/convenience, specialty retail and food & beverage concessionaire, has been named the “Best Overall Retailer” in the Small Companies Division by Airport Experience® News, an information resource focused on spotlighting the trends, issues and advancements that affect every point of a traveler’s journey through an airport.
