New Walkthrough Store in the Dominican Republic
In April Dufry inaugurated a new walkthrough duty-free store located in the international departures hall at Las Americas International Airport in the Dominican Republic. This opening follows the successful completion of a 1,442 m2 walkthrough store in Gregorio Luperon International Airport in 2019 and the ten years concession extension at Santiago Int. Airport and La Romana Int. Airport & Seaport.
Dufry has been operating for more than fifteen years in the Dominican Republic. Las Americas International Airport is the region’s principal hub, welcoming more than 2 million international passengers in 2019 through departures alone, and expects a steady passenger increase, going forward.
Besides Las Americas International Airport, Dufry’s presence in the Dominican Republic also includes duty-free operations in other international airports and seaports such as; Santiago, Puerto Plata seaport and airport, as well as Samana, Amber Cove, and Taino Bay cruise ports in Puerto Plata.
