After the tragedy of the 11th of September there are more and more large stores in the airports offering various product to the travelers. The idea is quite simple: according to the security rules, the passengers are requested to arrive at the airport 2-3 hours before the departure and this means that the excessive time has to be spent somehow. The opening of the large shopping centers solves this problem partially - the tourists can take long walks from one boutique to another looking at the assortment.
Besides, most of them recall in the very last moment that they have forgotten something very important and necessary at home and buy that. The owners of the large consumer networks mention that the sales at the airports are very profitable due to huge human traffic. In most airports of the world you can buy almost anything - from jewelry to children toys and according to the forecasts, the amount of airport shops will constantly increase. |
