On the Changi airport, Singapore, they have something new and interesting. The airport shops have decided to find a new way of shopping for their customers. They launched an online shopping portal! This enables the travellers to order before they go to the airport. After they arrived and have checked in, they can pick up their tax free articles and go straight to their plain.
I think that this can be something that many airport shops can do. But I’m not sure if it will work for al kind of travellers. Personally I think this can only work for business travellers, because they don’t spend a long time on the airport before they leave. They will just go there, check in and take their flight. Shopping online, before they go to the airport can be time saving for them.
But on the other hand I don’t think it will work for other kind of travellers. If the travellers are tourists, they often like to shop on an airport. (well, I do!) I think that tourists often like to walk around an airport and so shop a little.
What do you think?
