Thailand to End Duty-Free Shopping on Arrival at Airports:

Thailand will close duty-free shops in the arrival areas of eight international airports, including Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang in Bangkok. This initiative aims to boost domestic spending and decongest airports, repurposing space for passenger facilities. The closure aligns with Thailand's tourism strategy and aims to improve airport rankings. Last year, inbound duty-free shops generated THB 3 billion ($82.9 million), but the government estimates that closing them will increase foreign visitors' spending by THB 570 ($15.64) per trip. Thailand aims to welcome 40 million foreign visitors in 2024, having seen a 35% increase in tourists in the first half of the year.
