DUTY FREE ON ARRIVAL HELPS KICK THE CO2 HABIT


Did you know that if every airline passenger reduced to below 20Kg the weight of goods and items carried and bought what they needed on arrival at a duty-free lounge, this could cut global greenhouse gas emissions by two million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) a year? In line with the UNEP Campaign and to help passengers reduce their carbon footprint, many destinations around the world offer Duty Free shopping opportunities on arrival.


These include Hong Kong, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Singapore Changi, Antalya, Dubai, Mexico City, Abu Dhabi, Barbados and Manila international airports.

dutyfreeonarrival.com now allows you to search the globe as to where you can buy your Duty Free goods on arrival. Civil aviation authorities, airports, tourism authorities and other relevant bodies are encouraged to provide information about their existing or planned facilities to dutyfreeonarrival.com.
