UNEP wish to change Duty-Free?


Par exemple, des études montrent que si tous les passagers aériens voyageaient avec moins de 20 kg de bagages et qu'ils achetaient le reste de leurs articles dans une boutique hors-taxe, à leur arrivée, cela réduirait les émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre de deux millions de tonnes de dioxyde de carbone (CO2) chaque année.

For example studies indicate 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.

Is it "Duty Free a l'arrivee" in Switzerland soon?

The Swiss Government have today joined the arrivals duty free express train with the announcement of their version of the consultation process for the introduction of Duty Free on arrival. This follows Canada who launched the same process only 3 months ago. Is this a growing trend and is it that the sharp drop in airport revenues has precipitated this thinking?

Which Country will be next to follow this trend?
