The new ATÜ Duty Free location at Tbilisi Airport is the product of a successful collaboration between TAV Airports and the Unifree Duty Free/Gebr. Heinemann joint venture. This strategic partnership has culminated in an €800,000 investment that has completely transformed the main store at the airport, expanding it to a spacious 430 square meters. The store now boasts a collection of over 80 luxury brands, including high-end names such as Chanel and Armani, offering travelers a premium shopping experience when departing.
The renovation has a strong emphasis on creating a ‘Sense of Place’ that resonates with the Georgian spirit. Central to this concept is a secondary store opened by ATÜ Duty Free titled the 'Georgian Wine experience,' which is designed to immerse visitors in the rich viticultural heritage of the region. The ATÜ Duty Free’s commitment to showcasing local culture alongside international luxury makes it a unique retail destination.
