South America Duty-free Retail Market Dynamics:

The resurgent travel market in South America will be supported by focused initiatives to boost destination tourism and improve travel security.

in South America Four representatives—ACI South America, Airlines for South America, IATA, and ETRC—joined forces to create the destination summer campaign to promote a secure resumption of travel and tourism in South America.

The summer destination campaign encourages cooperation to improve commerce and travel, which boosts retail sales of duty-free goods.

 

Tremendous growth is expected in South America.

The increased tourist expenditure on luxury goods is a significant factor promoting the expansion of the local market. Airports in South American countries have been constructed to entice travelers and passengers to Duty-Free Retail outlets on their way to the departure lounge, as is the case in other international markets, as a result of the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions. Such arrangements are probably going to encourage travelers to spend their own money, which will boost goods sales over the next years.

 

The economic slowdown spurred by COVID-19 also prompted the cancellation of growth plans for the London City Airport. The situation is expected to get better as vaccination drives are held throughout South America and governments have started permitting travelers who have gotten all required vaccinations to enter the country, which will help with the restoration of duty-free retail sales. Duty-free shops have also started initiatives to make it easier for customers to shop. Following the lockdown, these are intended to encourage repeat consumers to make in-store purchases.

 

The duty-free retail market is expected to benefit greatly from the growing consumer experience.

Giving customers more services and enhancing their experiences could create a large market opportunity over the planning horizon. While the distribution channel offers a better shopping experience, travel considerably increases economic activity.
