Travel Agents to sell Duty Free online?

For the first time travel agents are looking at the concept of selling duty free goods online through the pre-order method. Traditionally, Duty Free has not been sold online, nor on arrival, but the market has started moving in this direction with Operators launching their pre-order websites. Australia and New Zealand have been the leaders in this new and innovative sector of the business, but until now it seems that nobody has linked the business to major travel agents.

All Duty Free purchasers need to buy a ticket first, so this could become a new added value revenue stream for the travel industry.

With the Canadian Government now taking a serious look at the introduction of Arrivals Duty Free airports and operators are looking at ways to deal with this potential new market. At last The Travel Industry appears to have woken up to this opportunity and exploratory discussions have opened.
