SAN DIEGO, 2012-07-21 — /travelprnews.com/ — In addition to a wide range of new dining and shopping options coming to San Diego International Airport as part of the Concession Development Program, travelers will see a duty free store. Today, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Board approved a seven-year lease with Duty Free Americas San Diego, LLC to design, build and operate a duty free store in Terminal 2.
The Airport Authority determined that the level of international enplanements will now support a duty free store because of new service to Tokyo, which begins on December 2, in addition to current international service to London, Mexico and Canada. Increased international service is a strong focus for the Airport Authority; $2.3 billion is spent each year by visitors who arrive by air to San Diego, and international visitors tend to stay longer and spend more than domestic travelers.
“We look forward to providing duty free shopping to our international travelers,” said Nyle Marmion, manager of concession development for the Airport Authority. “Our goal is to provide our customers with a wide variety of options, and this duty free store will further expand our offerings.”
The duty free store will sell liquor, tobacco, chocolate, perfume and other common duty free products. The duty free store will be located in Terminal 2 East post-security, and is targeted to open December 1, 2012.
