A new partnership between Tappoo Duty Free and SkyBuys promotes duty-free sales and travel retail to international passengers as the island's tourism industry recovers. With the SkyBuys app, international travelers can browse duty-free and travel retail inventory before or during their journey. Once purchases are made, shoppers can pick them up at the store's cashier without waiting in line.
The executive director of Tappoo Duty Free, Kaushal Tappoo, discussed the importance of digital strategies when it comes to attracting new travelers. “We are proud to be working with SkyBuys,” he said. “Accessing the SkyBuys platform to talk to customers in a new way and have a better understanding of their shopping behaviours will be a fantastic opportunity. We will also utilise promotions as they are a key part of our strategy, with a particular emphasis on liquor and confectionery.”
