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.
